Abstract:
An object recognition device according to an embodiment includes a camera that captures an image of an imaging area. A storage device stores, for each of a plurality of registered objects, dictionary feature information for identifying the corresponding object and dictionary boundary information for identifying an actual boundary area of the corresponding object. A processor receives the captured image from the camera, and determines an object area in the captured image. The processor extracts feature information from the object area, and, based on the extracted feature information compared to the dictionary feature information, identifies each object included in the object area. The processor also extracts boundary information corresponding to each identified object included in the object area, and, based on the extracted boundary information compared to the dictionary boundary information with respect to each identified object, determines an overlap state of each identified object in the object area.
