Abstract

An image recognizing apparatus includes a dictionary memory, a block determining module and a recognizing module. The dictionary memory stores dictionary data. The block determining module determines that a target block comprising a target pixel to be processed of a plurality of pixels in image data is a shared block to which the dictionary data is used or a mirror block to which the dictionary data to the shared block is used, based on a position of the target block. The recognizing module uses common dictionary data for the shared block and the mirror block, and recognizes a characteristic portion of the image expressed by the image data.
