  • Patent number: 10026148
    Abstract: The image recognition method includes: setting ROIs in an image of one image plane; and searching for a region including a recognition-targeted image. The method involves dictionary data including feature quantities calculated from blocks forming a recognition-targeted region including a recognition-targeted image and having blocks concerning the region. Focusing on one block in the image plane, feature quantities are calculated, which make block-of-interest feature quantities. With each of ROIs including the block, inner products of feature quantities calculated from a block corresponding to the one block in the dictionary data, and block-of-interest feature quantities are accumulatively added into evaluation value intermediate data for ROI. Whether or not each ROI includes the recognition-targeted image is determined on an evaluation value of ROI on which the accumulative addition has been finished on all of blocks forming the ROI. The noticed blocks are sequentially scanned in the image plane.
