  • Publication number: 20260164112
    Abstract: An object recognition device and an object recognition method are provided. The object recognition device includes an image sensor, a motorized pan-tilt mechanism, at least one marker, and a computing host. The image sensor senses an imaging region to generate an image data. The motorized pan-tilt mechanism rotates the image sensor to adjust the imaging region. The at least one marker is fixed to the motorized pan-tilt mechanism. The computing host determines whether the at least one corresponding marker appears in a specific region on a frame corresponding to the image data. In response to the corresponding marker not appearing in the specific region, the computing host suspends an object recognition on the frame corresponding to the image data. In response to the corresponding marker appearing in the specific region, the computing host starts to perform the object recognition on the frame corresponding to the image data.
