Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a recognition dictionary creation apparatus comprises an image capturing section, a measurement module, a specification module, an extraction module and a registration module. The image capturing section photographs a commodity at a distance away from the image capturing section to capture an image of the commodity. The measurement module measures the distance from the image capturing section to the commodity photographed by the image capturing section as a distance data. The specification module specifies the commodity from the captured image. The extraction module extracts an appearance feature amount of the commodity from the captured image. The registration module registers the appearance feature amount extracted by the extraction module in a recognition dictionary file in association with the distance data as a feature amount data of the specified commodity at the distance measured by the measurement module.
