Abstract
A gesture input device that controls a control device on the basis of a gesture action of a user has a gesture detecting unit that detects a gesture from an image picked up by a camera, a first gesture determining unit that determines that the gesture detected by the gesture detecting unit includes a first gesture, a second gesture determining unit that determines that the gesture detected by the gesture detecting unit includes a second gesture, and a control signal generating unit that sets a period in which the first gesture determining unit determines that the gesture includes the first gesture as a second gesture valid period in which recognition of the second gesture is valid and generates a control signal on the basis of the second gesture when the second gesture determining unit determines that the gesture includes the second gesture in the second gesture valid period.
