Abstract
According to an embodiment, a recognition device includes a candidate detection unit, a recognition unit, a matching unit, and a prohibition processing unit. The candidate detection unit detects, from an input image, character candidates each being a set of pixels estimated to include a character. The recognition unit recognizes each of the character candidates and generates one or more recognition candidates each being a character of a candidate as a recognition result. The matching unit matches each of the one or more recognition candidates with a knowledge dictionary in which a recognition target character string is modeled, and generates matching results obtained by matching a character string estimated to be included in the input image with the knowledge dictionary. The prohibition processing unit deletes, from the matching results, a matching result obtained by matching a character string including a prohibition target character string with the knowledge dictionary.
