OBJECT RECOGNITION DEVICE FOR RECOGNIZING PLACE AND OBJECT BY TWO STEPS

To solve problems in a case of recognizing objects appearing in an image: that when the number of objects to be recognized increases, the number of very similar objects may increase to degrade identification accuracy; and that a name to be used for the object in the image cannot be determined when different names are used in different places, for objects similar to the object in the image.SOLUTION: A device for recognizing objects appearing in an image improves identification accuracy, by adding information about a place where the image is captured, to reduce erroneous recognition between the objects and very similar objects in other places, and to enable adding the information peculiar to that place to recognized results.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】画像に写った物体を認識する場合、認識すべき物体が多くなると、よく似た物体が増大し、その識別精度は低下する。また、同じような画像であっても、場所によって異なる呼称が用いられている場合はどの呼称を用いるべきか判別できない。【解決手段】画像に写った物体を認識する装置において、撮影した場所の情報を加えることで、認識精度を向上させ、他の場所にあるよく似た物体との誤認識を減らすとともに、その場所固有の情報を認識結果に加えることを可能とする。【選択図】図１
