  • Patent number: 11590393
    Abstract: The animation preparing device includes at least one processor. The processor acquires exercise data concerning an exercise done by a user or the exercise that the user is doing. In a case where there exists a plurality of causes for a characteristic point of the user that has been detected based on the acquired exercise data, the processor prepares, from the exercise data, a first user animation represented in a first direction of line of sight as an animation of the exercise done by the user or the exercise that the user is doing in order to indicate a first cause for the characteristic point, and prepares a second user animation represented in a second direction of line of sight that is separate from the first line of sight in order to indicate a second cause for the characteristic point that is separate from the first cause.

  • Publication number: 20230044135
    Abstract: A contour detection apparatus includes at least one processor. The processor detects a first nail contour defining a nail region from a finger image of a finger including a nail by performing fitting with a nail contour model. Further, the processor obtains a second nail contour input from a user against the first nail contour that the user does not approve. Further, the processor classifies the first nail contour as a group based on dimensional information on dimensions of the first nail contour, and derives difference information indicating a difference between the first nail contour and the second nail contour.

  • Patent number: 10945506
    Abstract: A contour detection apparatus includes a processor. The processor learns to detect a nail contour being a detection target by setting an initial shape including feature points based on learning data each being image data on a finger including a learning target nail, and setting, as a reference point, a feature point among the feature points corresponding to a reference position, thereby obtaining contour detection information. The processor arranges, in treatment target data being image data on a finger including a treatment target nail, an initial position of the shape such that a point corresponding to the reference position in a contour of the finger including the treatment target nail is superposed on the reference point, and fits the shape to the treatment target nail from the initial position, thereby detecting the nail contour of the treatment target nail.
