Abstract
An object recognition apparatus is disclosed. The present apparatus includes a storage unit for obtaining an initial image of a preset object and storing the initial image as a reference image; and a control unit for obtaining a first additional image of the preset object, determining whether the size of the first additional image relative to the initial image meets a first preset condition and additionally storing the first additional image as a reference image if the first additional image meets the preset condition.
Claims12
A control method of an object recognition apparatus, comprising:
- storing an initial image including a predetermined object and at least two images which are obtained by applying different histogram stretching to the initial image in a database for reference images for recognition of the predetermined object;
- based on determining that a first additional image includes the predetermined object by comparing with the initial image and the at least two images, identifying whether a size of the predetermined object included in the first additional image relative to the predetermined object included in the initial image and the at least two images satisfies a first predetermined condition;
- based on the first additional image satisfying the first predetermined condition, storing the first additional image in the database for the reference images;
- and
- performing recognition of the predetermined object with respect to a target image using the reference images stored in the database,
- wherein the predetermined object is a body part of a predetermined person.
An object recognition apparatus comprising:
- a storage configured to store a database for reference images for recognition of a predetermined object;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- store an initial image including the predetermined object and at least two images which are obtained by applying different histogram stretching to the initial image in the database,
- based on determining that a first additional image includes the predetermined object by comparing with the initial image and the at least two images, identify whether a size of the predetermined object included in the first additional image relative to a size of the predetermined object included in the initial image and the at least two images satisfies a first predetermined condition,
- based on the first additional image satisfying the first predetermined condition, store the first additional image in the database for the reference images, and
- perform recognition of the predetermined object with respect to a target image using the reference images stored in the database,
- wherein the predetermined object is a body part of a predetermined person.
