Abstract

According to one embodiment, an information processing device includes a storage device and a processor connected to the storage device. The processor is configured to perform a process for displaying an image and information related to a size of a recognition target, and recognize a recognition target from the image. The information related to the size of the recognition target includes visual information of the recognition target.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a storage device; and

a processor connected to the storage device,

wherein the processor is configured to;

perform a process for displaying an image and information related to a size of a recognition target; and

recognize a recognition target from the image, and

the information related to the size of the recognition target includes visual information of the recognition target.

2. The information processing device of claim 1, wherein

the visual information of the recognition target is information related to a shape of the recognition target.

3. The information processing device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to

obtain information related to a change in the size, wherein

recognize the recognition target from the image based on the information related to the change in the size.

4. The information processing device of claim 1, wherein

the visual information of the recognition target is determined in accordance with an operation mode for recognizing the recognition target.

8. The information processing device of claim 3, wherein

the information related to the change in the size is determined based on one of a process for displaying an enlarged image and a process for displaying a reduced image.

9. The information processing device of claim 1, wherein

the processor is configured to:

perform a process for displaying information related to a recognition area in the image, and

recognize the recognition target from the area.

10. The information processing device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to perform a process for enlarging the area when no recognition target is included in the area.

11. The information processing device of claim 9, wherein

the processor is configured to:

detect information related to movement of the self-device; and

control a position of the area in the image based on the information related to the movement.

12. The information processing device of claim 1, further comprising a display which displays the image and the information related to the size of the recognition target.

5. An information processing device comprising:

a storage device; and

a processor connected to the storage device,

wherein the processor is configured to;

perform a process for displaying an image and information related to a size of a recognition target; and

recognize a recognition target from the image, and

the information related to the size of the recognition target includes information related a first size and a second size larger than the first size.

6. The information processing device of claim 5, wherein

the processor is configured to:

obtain information related to a change in the size; and

recognize the recognition target from the image based on the information related to the change in the size, and

the information related to the change in the size includes information for changing at least one of the first size and the second size.

7. The information processing device of claim 6, wherein

the processor is configured to, when a recognition target having a size applicable to a range from the first size to the second size is not included in the image, obtain information for enlarging the range.

13. An information processing device comprising:

a storage device; and

a processor connected to the storage device,

wherein the processor is configured to;

perform a process for displaying an image and information related to a recognition area in the image;

recognize a recognition target included in the recognition area; and

detect information related to movement of the self-device, and

a position of the recognition area is determined based on the information related to the movement.
