An object recognition device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a recognition target image that serves as an object to be recognized; a retrieval unit configured to search an image database storing a plurality of image data in association with tag information and retrieve a similar image that matches the recognition target image; and a recognition unit configured to recognize the object included in the recognition target image on the basis of tag information associated with a similar image obtained by the retrieval unit. The recognition may select the tag information that appears most frequently among the tag information associated with the similar images as a recognition result. The recognition unit may also compute a tag information reliability score from the similar image in the retrieval result and recognize an object taking into account said reliability score.

Object recognition device, object recognition method, and program for recognizing an object in an image based on tag information

A system may include a sensing device and an application device. The sensing device includes an imaging device, an image processing unit that detects a whole or part of a person from an image captured with the imaging device as a sensing target and extracts information on the detected sensing target, and a wireless communication unit that transmits the sensing result including the information extracted by the image processing unit through wireless communication. The application device includes a communication unit that receives the sensing result from the sensing device and an application processing unit that performs processing using information included in the sensing result received by the communication unit. The information transmitted from the sensing device as the sensing result includes neither a person's image nor information that can directly identify an individual.
