Abstract
An image recognition device includes: a detector capable of multitasking to execute image recognition tasks on a peripheral image, and capable of adjusting processing contents of the image recognition tasks; and a controller to adjust the processing contents of the image recognition tasks in the detector. The controller receives a peripheral image as an input and dynamically changes the processing contents of the image recognition tasks in the detector in response to a tendency of contents of the peripheral image.
