Patent number: 10832044Abstract: An image recognition device adds a margin region filled with predetermined image data to a periphery of a captured image captured by a camera to create an expanded image larger than the captured image. When a person is too close to the camera, a part of a person image protrudes from the captured image, but a large detection window which also includes the margin region is set, whereby a window image including a protruding region is taken out of the expanded image. The window image lacks a protruding part of the person image, but it is an image showing an entire body of the person image. The image recognition device stores many reference images assuming various states of a person. The image recognition device extracts features from the window image, and compares them with a feature of the reference image, thereby recognizing the person image.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: EQUOS RESEARCH CO., LTD.Inventors: Hideo Yamada, Kazuhiro Kuno
