Abstract
An image recognition device capable of reducing power, a calculation amount, a memory occupancy amount, and a bus band occupancy amount and maintaining high recognition accuracy is provided. An image recognition device includes a plurality of signal processing modules that connects a plurality of image sensors having different functions, performs signal processing on the basis of image signals output from connected image sensors and including an object within an imaging visual field, and is each capable of being controlled for power source supply, a recognition processing unit that selectively performs recognition processing of the object by an output signal of one signal processing module and recognition processing of the object with fusion of corresponding output signals of the plurality of signal processing modules, and a control unit that supplies a power source to at least one signal processing module, causes the recognition processing unit to perform recognition processing of the object without fusion, determines reliability of a recognition processing result, and performs power source supply control of another signal processing module on the basis of a determination result.
