An image recognition system for detecting and tracking at least an image portion associated with a predefined object from a moving picture is configured to be able to perform: an object detection processing step of detecting the object; a tracking point specification processing step of specifying a predetermined point as a tracking point; a tracking target recognition processing step of recognizing an actual tracking target based on the tracking point; a tracking processing step of tracking the tracking target; and a determination processing step of determining the type of the tracking target's behavior. The tracking point specification processing step and the determination processing step are implemented by software, while the object detection processing step, the tracking target recognition processing step, and the tracking processing step are implemented by hardware.

Image recognition system and semiconductor integrated circuit

A plurality of logic element groups LEGto LEGrespectively include at least one logic element as a component of a reconfigurable semiconductor integrated circuit. Between any logic element groups engaging in data transmission/reception, e.g., LEGand LEG, clock out terminal and clock in terminal are connected via a line while data out terminal and data in terminal are connected via a delay element. The logic element groups LEGto LEGare therefore independent of one another in terms of timing design. Thus, if redesign is necessary for a semiconductor integrated circuit completed with a plurality of logic element groups, only a new circuit may be designed and connected to an existing circuit, or an unnecessary logic element group may just be removed, to complete a new semiconductor integrated circuit.
