Abstract: The observation update unit (152) increases a weight of a particle for a particle representing a position and a posture closer to a position and a posture of an operation object indicated by an observation result, and increases a weight of a corresponding particle for a particle closer to a state in which an object of interest and the operation object arranged in a position and a posture represented by each of particles are in contact with each other in a virtual space where shapes and a relative positional relationship of the object of interest and the operation object are expressed in a case in which the observation result indicates that the contact has occurred. A state estimation unit (154) calculates an estimated state that is a position and a posture of the operation object estimated based on a set of the particles in which a weight of each of the particles is adjusted.

The light source unit has an installation mechanism for installation to the base plate, and the base plate has an installation mechanism counterpart engaged with the installation mechanism. In addition, the light emitting module has a hook mechanism that catches the light source unit and the base plate when the installation mechanism and the installation mechanism counterpart are not engaged with each other. The hook mechanism is contained within a thickness of the light source unit when the light source unit is mounted to the base plate. In this configuration, it is possible to prevent the light source unit from dropping from the base plate using the hook mechanism even when engagement between the installation mechanism and the installation mechanism counterpart is released.
