Abstract
A plurality of images obtained by capturing a recognition target object from different viewpoint positions is acquired, and a portion set on the recognition target object in the image is received as a set portion for each of the images. A plurality of feature points is set in each of the images so as to set a larger number of feature points at the set portion than at an unset portion other than the set portion. The recognition target object is learned using image feature amounts at the feature points.
Claims7
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit that acquires an image of a recognition target object;
- a reception unit that receives, as a set portion in the image, a portion useful for recognition of the recognition target object;
- and
- a learning unit that learns the recognition target object in the image using an image feature amount at a feature point at the set portion more significantly than an image feature amount at a feature point at an unset portion other than the set portion.
An image processing method which is performed by an image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an acquisition step of acquiring an image of a recognition target object;
- a reception step of receiving, as a set portion in the image, a portion useful for recognition of the recognition target object;
- and
- a learning step of learning the recognition target object in the image using an image feature amount at a feature point at the set portion more significantly than an image feature amount at a feature point at an unset portion other than the set portion.
