1. An image recognition apparatus comprising:

  • image input means that receives an image;

    external memory that stores information;

    FPGA coarse Hough transform means that performs, on a FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a first coarse-precision Hough transform upon an image that is received as input in said image input means, and supplies candidate location information that was obtained by said first Hough transform and said image to said external memory; and

    fine Hough transform means that operates on a general-purpose processor and that reads said candidate location information and said image that were stored in said external memory, uses the candidate location information to perform a second detailed-precision Hough transform upon the image, and supplies detailed-precision location information for two-dimensional patterns that are the object of recognition in said image to said external memory.
