In an object recognition apparatus, a first division unit and a second division unit each partitions an image into a plurality of regions. A first calculation and a second calculation unit each derives, for each of the plurality of regions partitioned. A first comparison unit and a second comparison unit each compares the derived characteristic quantities in between at least two images, for each of the plurality of regions. A recognition unit recognizes a region where the object is located, based on the comparison result.
