Abstract

We have developed the wearable system for photographing of the scenery/composition designated by the user’s hand frame with a shoulder-mounted camera. The hand frame is the gesture of making a rectangular enclosure with both hands when the user considers the composition of a picture. The system detects the hand region of the user from an image of a head-mounted camera, and gets a “picking region image” by recognizing the hand gesture. The picking region is the region in the hand frame indicated by the user through the image of the head-mounted camera. It photographs high resolution image of the similar composition as the picking region image, called “target region image” by controlling PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) of the shoulder-mounted camera. It performs robust control on noise such as the user’s body sway.
