Abstract
An image recognition device, an image recognition method and an image recognition unit are capable of performing touch recognition high in accuracy. The image recognition device includes a measurement point determination section adapted to determine a fingertip from an image obtained by a camera, a pattern display section adapted to make a projector display a first pattern having a first linear pattern varying in luminance with a first pitch along a direction parallel to an epipolar line passing through the fingertip, and a second linear pattern varying in luminance with a second pitch along a direction parallel to the epipolar line, and a position detection section adapted to perform touch recognition based on a variation of the first pattern from the image including the first pattern.
