Object recognition method and apparatus therefor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image processing method for executing a process for identifying an object included in an image, comprising:
- a detection step of detecting features in an object of interest included in the image;
a setting step of setting local regions which include feature groups required to obtain a shape and positional relationship of the object, of the features detected in the detection step; and
a determining step of determining which of different individuals the object of interest is, on the basis of the feature groups in the local regions set in the setting step for the object of interest.

Abstract
A feature extraction unit (23) extracts features of an object of interest included in an image. A local region setting unit (24) sets a local region that includes a feature group required to obtain the shape of the object and a local region that includes a feature group required to obtain the positional relationship. A feature vector generation unit (25) calculates feature vector data in the set local regions. An object recognition unit (26) determines which of different objects the object of interest is, on the basis of the feature vectors.

10. An image processing apparatus for executing a process for identifying an object included in an image, comprising:
-
detection means for detecting features in an object of interest included in the image; setting means for setting local regions which include feature groups required to obtain a shape and positional relationship of the object, of the features detected by said detection means; and determining means for determining which of different individuals the object of interest is, on the basis of the feature groups in the local regions set by said setting means for the object of interest.
