Abstract
Disclosed are image recognition apparatuses and methods which detect subject objects by configuring effective candidate regions for the subject objects in a target image. The apparatus includes an image inputting part receiving at least one image; an effective candidate region configuring part configured to receive a user input including information on reference positions of effective candidate regions and an upper limit and a lower limit of the effective candidate regions, and to configure the effective candidate regions based on the user input; and an effective region determining part configured to select an effective region meeting a preconfigured threshold among the effective candidate regions configured based on the user input. Therefore, since a complex conventional camera calibration procedure is not necessary, time and cost can be saved.
