Abstract(in English) This paper describes that not only a user's posture can be estimated from CCD camera picture, but also motion gesture can be estimated from the continuous presumed posture flow, proposing transfer technology of these results to operation of AVATAR in chat space. The method of extracting a person image from CCD camera picture, and presuming a person's posture can be realized by the neural networks from silhouette basis input form. The validity of this technique has been evaluated by experimental system including 3D CG virtual space chat function.
