Abstract
An apparatus is provided for classifying targets into a known-object group and an unknown-object group. The apparatus includes a speech/image data storage unit configured to store a spoken sound of a name of an object and an image of the object; a unit configured to calculate a speech confidence level of a speech for the name of the object with reference to a spoken sound of a name of a known object; a unit configured to calculate an image confidence level of an image of an object with respect to an image of a known object; and a unit configured to compare an evaluation value, which is obtained by combining the speech confidence level and image confidence level, with a threshold value, and classify a target object into an object group determined according to whether the spoken sound of the name and the image are known or unknown.
