Publication number: 20230015050Abstract: A recognition processor calculates a recognition score indicating a possibility at which a predetermined target object is included in a partial region of a captured picture. In a case where a picture size of the partial region is smaller than a threshold value, the recognition processor calculates a recognition score using first recognition dictionary data generated by machine learning that sets a picture having a picture size smaller than a predetermined value as an input picture. In a case where a picture size of the partial region is larger than or equal to the threshold value, the recognition processor calculates a recognition score using second recognition dictionary data generated by machine learning that sets a picture having a picture size larger than or equal to the predetermined value as an input picture.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventor: Takuya OGURA
