Image recognition device and image recognition method

Provided is an image recognition device capable of reducing power, calculation amount, memory occupancy, and bus band occupancy, and maintaining high recognition accuracy. The image recognition apparatus includes: a recognition processing unit in which a plurality of image sensors having mutually different functions are connected, the recognition processing unit performing signal processing based on an image signal including an object within a captured image field of view output from the connected image sensors, each of the plurality of signal processing modules may control a power source according to whether or not there is a fusion with an output signal of each of the plurality of signal processing modules, and selectively performing an identification process of an object according to an output signal of one of the plurality of signal processing modules or performing an identification process of an object according to whether there is a fusion with the output signal of each of the plurality of signal proces
