PATTERN RECOGNITION APPARATUS AND PATTERN RECOGNITION METHOD THAT REDUCE EFFECTS ON RECOGNITION ACCURACY, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A pattern recognition apparatus that is lightweight for mounting, and reduces the effects of registration conditions or check conditions on recognition accuracy. Similarity sets for respective local features are calculated from a local feature of input data and local features of a plurality of pieces of dictionary data corresponding to the local feature of the input data. Integrated similarities are calculated by integrating a plurality of similarity sets in the local features according to a registration condition or a check condition. Dictionary data corresponding to the input data is identified based on the calculated integrated similarities.
