Abstract
An image recognition apparatus determines whether an image of a pedestrian is captured in a frame of video data captured by a vehicle mounted camera. A pre-processing unit determines a detection block from within a frame, and cuts out block image data corresponding to the detection block from the frame. Block data with a predetermined size that is smaller than the size of the detection block is created from the block image data. A neuro calculation unit executes neuro calculation on the block data, and calculates an output synapse. A post-processing unit determines whether a pedestrian exists within the detection block on the basis of the output synapse. When a pedestrian is detected, the post-processing unit creates result data, which is obtained by superimposing the detection block within which the pedestrian was detected onto the frame.
