ABSTRACT:
An image recognizing apparatus and method is provided for recognizing behavior of a mobile unit accurately with an image of external environment acquired during the mobile unit is moving.Behavior command output block12outputs behavior commands to cause the mobile unit32move. Local feature extraction block16extracts features of local areas of the image from the image of external environment acquired on the mobile unit32when the behavior command is output. Global feature extraction block18extracts feature of global area of the image using the features of local areas. Learning block20calculates probability models for recognizing behavior given to the mobile unit32based on the feature of global area of the image. After learning is finished, behavior of the mobile unit32may be recognized rapidly and accurately by applying the probability models to an image of external environment acquired in mobile unit32afresh.
