An image recognition apparatus is arranged to extract feature information of an object area detected from among images, compare with feature information of previously-registered objects, thereby calculating a degree of similarity, when the calculated degree of similarity is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, determine the object included in the object area as a registered object and set a recognition confirmed state that is successively maintained between images, and when a reliability of the object tracking is low and the degree of similarity is smaller than the predetermined threshold value, set the recognition confirmed state which is successively maintained into a recognition unconfirmed state where the object included in the object area is not determined as a registered object. |
