Patent attributes
An object recognition apparatus includes image information acquisition means for acquiring image information of an object to be recognized, storage means for storing detection profile information associating an object candidate with a detector capable of detecting the object candidate, and model image information of the object candidate associated with the object candidate and object detection means including detectors defined in the detection profile information, the object detection means detecting the object to be recognized by using the detector from the image information acquired by the image information acquisition means. The detector of the object detection means detects the object candidate by comparing the model image information of the object candidate associated with the detector in the detection profile information with the image information of the object to be recognized acquired by the image information acquisition means, and outputs the detected object candidate as the object to be recognized.
