PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image recognition method capable of recognizing a plurality of objects without using an image buffer. SOLUTION: The method includes: (A) successively acquiring pixel values of each row sequentially in the image; (B) determining a start point of a newly detected image segment located in a currently inspected row of the image; (C) accumulating information of the newly detected image segment point-by-point starting from the start point; (D) determining an end point of the newly detected image segment; (E)identifying the object to which the newly detected image segment belongs according to a spatial correlation between the newly detected image segment and a previously detected image segment in an adjacent previously inspected row of the image; (F) collecting accumulated information of each object to which the image segment belongs; (G) identifying the image segment of the next object contained in the row; and (H) reading all pixel values contained in the image and recognizing each object in the image.
