The present invention can extract a change not only from an orthorectified image but also from a plurality of images captured at different camera positions, under different lighting conditions, at different angles, and at different scaling factors. Foot-print information is extracted from each of images to be compared, and a change is detected by comparing the foot-print information.

Change detection equipment and method of image recognition

To provide a map generation device according to the present invention which extracts a polygon shape of a building having a complex upper portion structure from a wide area image. The map generation device includes an image appointment unit that receives appointment of at least one position in a building existing within an aerial photograph, a polygon extraction unit that extracts a building region based on a result of discriminating a color around the appointed position and extracts a polygon line of the building region, and a vector generation unit that generates a vector of the polygon line of the building region.
