Abstract: The recognition system stores a learned model including first and second model parts. The first model part outputs, in response to input of a first resolution image showing a target object at a first resolution, a second resolution image corresponding to an image resulting from conversion of the first resolution image into a second resolution higher than the first resolution and a difference image corresponding to a difference between the first resolution image and the second resolution image. The second model part outputs a feature amount of the target object in response to input of the second resolution image and the difference image. The arithmetic circuit obtains the first resolution image as a target image and provides the obtained target image to the learned model to allow it to calculate a feature amount of a target object shown in the target image.
