Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A target recognition system and a target recognition method to recognize one or more recognition targets, operatively connected to an imaging device to capture an image of an area ahead of the target recognition system, each of which includes a recognition area detector to detect multiple recognition areas from the captured image; a recognition weighting unit to set recognition weight indicating existence probability of images of the recognition targets to the respective recognition areas detected by the recognition area detector; and a target recognition processor to recognize the one or more recognition targets in a specified recognition area based on the recognition weight set in the respective recognition area.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A target recognition system to recognize one or more recognition targets, operatively connected to an imaging device to capture an image of an area ahead of the target recognition system, comprising: a recognition area detector to detect multiple recognition areas from the captured image; a recognition weighting unit to weight the probability of images of the recognition targets being present in each of the respective recognition areas detected by the reco…
