Abstract(in English) We have been researching human sensing technologies based on computer vision for the realization of the Percept-room as an intelligent environment. This room offers several services such as the control of electrical appliances by use of human's gestures. A more caring technology is strongly expected for providing more human-friendly interfaces. The control of electrical appliance by use of a gesture is one of the important contributions to the implementation of the Percept-room. The recognition of human motion in the Percept-room is important as a first priority. In this paper, we propose an estimation method of the human position in the Percept-room by integrating the silhouettes from multiple cameras. We then propose an extraction method of the hand by integrating the motions detected from subtractions during a gesture in the Percept-Room. We precisely describe the proposed methods and the experimental results obtained by use of a PC system implemented in the Percept-room.
