Abstract: An image obtained by capturing a gesture input region is acquired, and an object that makes a gesture is detected from the image. An intersection position at which the detected object crosses a determination region used to determine the position of the object with respect to the gesture input region is detected from the image. The base position of the gesture made by the object is computed based on the intersection position. The position of a target of manipulation by the gesture is determined as a manipulation target position. A gesture coordinate system different from the coordinate system of the image is determined based on the base position and the manipulation target position.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, an image including an object is displayed on an operation surface. A position in the image that is designated by a user input is recognized. When the object is displayed at the recognized position, different editing operations with respect to the object are accepted according to the length of duration during which the position is continuously designated. As the different editing operations, at least a copying operation to copy the object and a cutting operation to cut the object from the image are distinctively accepted.
