Abstract
According to one aspect of the present invention, an object recognition device for performing recognition processing on a distance image to recognize an object includes a determination unit, a changing unit, and a recognition processor. The determination unit is configured to determine a valid distance pixel forming the distance image and an invalid distance pixel not forming the distance image, based on a feature value of each pixel in a captured image. The changing unit is configured to change the invalid distance pixel near the valid distance pixel to a valid distance pixel. The recognition processor is configured to perform recognition processing on the distance image formed by the valid distance pixel determined by the determination unit and the valid distance pixel obtained by the changing unit to recognize the object.
