1. An image recognition method for recognizing an object, comprising:

  • capturing the object to generate a range image having three-dimensional information representing a three-dimensional shape of the object;

    generating a three-dimensional deformed image by three-dimensionally deforming the range image;

    recognizing three-dimensional motion of the object in the range image by comparing the deformed image with a newly captured range image obtained by capturing the object currently; and

    segmenting the range image of the object in units of voxels according to a distance value of the range image,wherein the deformed image is generated by deforming the range image based on a position of the voxel.
