Abstract

An object identification system 1 acquires a captured image of each of objects respectively having peculiar patterns on surfaces thereof, images being formed on the surfaces, classifies, for each of objects, the object into any one of classifications according to features in the captured image acquired concerning the object, and registers, for each of the objects, identification information of the object and a classification of the object in association with one another. The object identification system 1 acquires candidates of classifications of one target object among objects on the basis of a classification result based on a target object captured image of the target object, acquires pattern images registered in association with the acquired classifications, and specifies, as identification information of the target object, identification information associated with a pattern image matching the target object captured image among the acquired pattern images.
