Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a program which traces movements of a person engaged in farm work making use of image processing technology. This has been carried out as one of the studies on workstation for an autonomous bio-production robot. This paper deals with the development of a program by which indoor movements of a person were traced while the background was clearly distinguished. This study was in analysis preparation phase, and the outcome will be applied to every activity conducted in an agricultural setting. It was revealed that the developed program thus was capable of detecting movements of a person extremely accurately though it was somewhat affected by noise due to reflection of indoor fluorescent lamps.
