Abstract
In an image recognition method executed by a computer of an image recognizer using a convolutional neural network, the convolutional neural network is a first convolutional neural network in which a fully connected layer is changed to a convolutional layer, and the method includes controlling a first convolutional neural network to acquire an input image, controlling the first convolutional neural network to estimate a center area of a recognition target in the acquired input image and to output a value indicating the estimated center area as a location of the recognition target in the input image.
