A method of processing image information is disclosed, for recognizing the position and attitude of an object with a high speed treatment and improved recognition accuracy. The method comprised of the steps of entry of a stereoscopic image of an object, extraction of edges of the object, and dividing it into segments based on the local feature of the image, adding the apex information to the segments to produce the recognition data, verifying the recognition data with reference to an object model based on local geometric features to detect a corresponding candidate; finely adjusting each of corresponding candidates based on an entire geometric features; and detecting the position and attitude of the object on the basis of recognition including the initial verification and the fine adjustment.
