Abstract
An image recognition device that can accurately recognize a recognition target is provided. An image recognition deviceincludes an imaging deviceconfigured to image one imaging surface (for example, a top surface) of a recognition target T, a mirror unitthat is a reflection unit disposed to reflect another imaging surface (for example, a side surface) of the recognition target T to the imaging device, and a recognition unitconfigured to recognize the recognition target T on the basis of a first image of the one imaging surface (the top surface) and a second image of the other imaging surface (the side surface). With this configuration, it is possible to obtain images of surfaces at a plurality of positions such as side surfaces of a recognition target through one imaging operation and to improve the recognition accuracy of a recognition target. Even when a recognition target has been rolled and placed, the recognition target can be imaged in at least two directions, and thus it is possible to improve the recognition accuracy.
