PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recognize an object by clustering a window at high speed based on a label corresponding to a distance value calculated for the window. SOLUTION: The image of an object picked up by image pickup means 3, 3' is converted through A/D converters 4, 4' and stored in image memories 5, 5'. Image parts corresponding to a window are cut out from the image memories 5, 5' at an window cut out section 9 and delivered to a correlation calculating section 6. The correlation calculating section 6 performs correlation calculation from two cut out images and delivers a determined distance to a distance calculating section 7. A distance removing section 31 compares the measured distance with a predetermined estimation distance for each window and deletes a measured distance value from a distance memory section 8. A clustering section 33 performs clustering for a window having a measured distance which is not deleted at the distance removing section 31. |
