Abstract
An object recognition system having at least two image sensors and a controller that is adapted for measuring the distance from the system to a physical object with respect to respective windows of a n image captured by the sensors. The controller is further programmed to form clusters by uniting adjacent windows that have similar measure distances. The controller is programmed to judge whether each of the clusters is valid or invalid based on the attributes of the cluster and to recognize an object based on the clusters judged to be valid.
