Abstract
An image recognition device includes an image acquisition unit, a moving object detection unit, and a pedestrian detection unit. The image acquisition unit acquires consecutive captured images of a surrounding of a vehicle from a camera mounted to the vehicle. The moving object detection unit calculates a moving amount based on consecutive captured images in time series acquired by the image acquisition unit to detect a moving object from the captured images. The pedestrian detection unit detects a pedestrian using an identifier for identifying a pedestrian from the captured images acquired by the image acquisition unit. The pedestrian detection unit relaxes a detection criterion for detecting a pedestrian using the identifier in a region of a captured image where the moving object is detected.
