Abstract

See full text

An object of the invention is to provide a method and a apparatus for optical pattern recognition capable of accurately comparing and identifying a reference image accurately at a real-time even when the input image rotates or its size changes by being compared with a reference image that is a desirous target. The method and apparatus comprise the processes of; steps (6, 11) for independently obtaining a lower-frequency component and a higher-frequency component from a joint Fourier transform image 5 of the reference image 4 and the input image 3; steps (10, 15) for calculating correlation coefficients respectively from the lower-frequency component and the higher-frequency component; step (16) for obtaining a ratio of the respective correlation coefficients; and step (19) for identifying and comparing a correlation coefficient ratio of the two same reference images to be required with a correlation coefficient ratio obtained from step (16).
