ABSTRACT:
An image recognition/reproduction method includes an extraction step of extracting local feature elements of an image, and a selection step of selecting a pair composed of a prescribed local feature element and position information indicative thereof, this pair being such that the distance between a pair composed of a prescribed local feature element and position information indicative thereof and a pair composed of a local feature element extracted at the extraction step and position information indicative thereof is less than a prescribed distance.
