PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve recognition accuracy of a similar character by performing characteristic extraction focused on a part important for recognition of an input image. SOLUTION: This device comprises a partial area characteristic quantity calculation part for calculating, for an inputted pattern image, each characteristic quantity of a plurality of partial areas set uneven numerically in the whole image area, a characteristic vector generation part for generating a characteristic vector of the input pattern from the respective characteristic quantities of the plurality of partial areas calculated by the partial area characteristic quantity calculation part, and a pattern identification part for performing identification of the input pattern using the characteristic vector outputted from the characteristic vector generation part. The plurality of partial areas are set to be arranged thick numerically in a part of the whole image area, compared with the other area. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
