Abstract
In an image recognition apparatus, a left camera and a right camera are provided so as to produce a parallax. A road surface indication recognizing section recognizes road surface indications contained in a left input image that is supplied from the left camera. An edge detecting section detects remaining edges other than the edges of the recognized road surface indications among all the edges in the left input image. A matching section extracts a reference pattern in the left input image that includes a detected edge, and conducts matching between the reference pattern and a right input image that is supplied from the right camera using a pattern matching method. Based on each matching result with the reference pattern, an object recognizing section recognizes an object in the visual fields and determines a distance from the recognized object to the image recognition apparatus.
