ABSTRACT:
Based on image data taken and acquired by any one of a plurality of cameras, a predetermined object included in the image is recognized by pattern matching. A plurality of databases associated with a plurality of cameras is provided and a database to be used is changed according to the camera to be used. The plurality of databases can also be changed according to conditions such as weather and environment.
