Abstract: An image acquisition unit 20 of an information processing device 14 acquires data for a moving image including an image of a user and captured by an image capturing device 12. A tracking processing unit 26 uses a particle filter to perform visual tracking in the moving image so as to estimate a head contour of the user. A gesture detection unit 28 identifies a facial region in an area inside the head contour, acquires a parameter indicating the orientation of the face, and keeping a history of parameters. When time-dependent change in the orientation of the face meets a predetermined criterion, it is determined that a gesture is made. The output data generation unit 30 generates output data dependent on a result of detecting a gesture. The output control unit 32 controls the generated output data so as to display the data on the display 16, for example.

The first path is defined by first starting coordinates and an initial angle such that it follows a natural path along the surface of the modeled substrate. Subsequent paths are also defined by their respective starting coordinates and initial angles, wherein the starting coordinates are disposed adjacent a adjacent path and the initial angle causes the subsequent path to follow a natural path along the modeled substrate. The starting coordinates are adjusted to minimize a minimum gap between the adjacent paths, and the initial angle is adjusted to minimize an average gap between adjacent paths, all without the paths overlapping. Finally, tape strips are laid upon the substrate according to the defined paths, thereby forming the article.
