Abstract

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.
