Abstract: The present invention refers to a process and a device for recognizing one or more objects in an image composed by a plurality of pixels. The recognizing of an object in an image comprises at least three phases. In a first phase, a plurality of possible configurations of pixels different therebetween is pre-defined and to everyone of those at least one symbolic coding identifying and describing the features of the corresponding configuration of pixels is associated. In a second phase, the image is processed by means of processing to associate thereto a corresponding sequence of specific configurations detected among said plurality of configurations of pixels in an univocal way. Finally, in a third phase , the symbolic codings associated to the corresponding specific configurations of said sequence are interpreted automatically and correlated therebetween to allow to recognize said object.
