Image recognition system, image recognition method, and machine readable medium storing thereon an image recognition program
First Claim
1. An image recognition system which recognizes a subject, which is moving with respect to an image capturing unit, included in an image captured by the image capturing unit, comprising:
- the image capturing unit;
a first recognition unit which recognizes a candidate of the subject included in the image captured by said image capturing unit by comparing the image captured by said image capturing unit with predetermined template data;
a template selection unit which selects the template data to be compared with an image captured by said image capturing unit after a predetermined duration has been elapsed from a time of capturing an image used for recognition of the candidate by said recognition unit; and
a second recognition unit which recognizes the subject by comparing the image, which is captured by said image capturing unit after a predetermined duration has been elapsed from a time of capturing an image used for recognition of the candidate by said first recognition unit, with the template data selected by said template selection unit.

12. An image recognition method which recognizes a subject, which is moving with respect to an image capturing unit, included in an image captured by the image capturing unit, comprising:
-
a first image capturing step of capturing an image by the image capturing unit;
a first recognition step of recognizing a candidate of the subject included in the image captured in said first image capturing step by comparing the image captured in said image capturing step with predetermined template data;
a template selection step of selecting the template data to be compared with an image captured by the image capturing unit after a predetermined duration has been elapsed from a time of capturing an image in said first image capturing step;
a second image capturing step of capturing an image by the image capturing unit after a predetermined duration has been elapsed from a time of capturing an image in said first image capturing step; and
a second recognition step of recognizing the subject by comparing the image captured in said second image capturing unit with the template data selected in said template selection step.

13. A machine readable medium having an image recognition program stored thereon, which when executed by a machine cause the machine to act as an image recognition system which recognizes a subject, which is moving with respect to an image capturing unit, included in an image captured by the image capturing unit, comprising:
-
the image capturing unit;
a first recognition unit which recognizes a candidate of the subject included in the image captured by said image capturing unit by comparing the image captured by said image capturing unit with predetermined template data;
a template selection unit which selects the template data to be compared with an image captured by said image capturing unit after a predetermined duration has been elapsed from a time of capturing an image used for recognition of the candidate by said recognition unit; and
a second recognition unit which recognizes the subject by comparing the image, which is captured by said image capturing unit after a predetermined duration has been elapsed from a time of capturing an image used for recognition of the candidate by said first recognition unit, with the template data selected by said template selection unit.
