Claim Text:
1. A method for supporting object recognition by using an apparatus for supporting object recognition, comprising the steps of: (a) the apparatus setting calculation blocks, each of which includes one or more pixels in an image, acquiring respective average values of the pixels included in the respective calculation blocks, and matching information on the respective calculation blocks with the respective average values or respective adjusted values derived from the respective average values; (b) the apparatus referring to information on windows, each of which includes information on one or more reference blocks which are different in at least either positions or sizes and information on corresponding relations between the calculation blocks and the average values or the adjusted values, to thereby assign the respective average values or the respective adjusted values to the respective reference blocks; and (c) the apparatus acquiring necessary information to be used for recognizing an object by using the respective average values or the respective adjusted values assigned to the respective reference blocks, wherein the windows include a first to an n-th windows; and wherein, at the step (b), the respective average values or the respective adjusted values are assigned to the respective reference blocks by each window from the first to the n-th ones by referring to the information on the reference blocks belonging to the respective n windows and the information on corresponding relations between the calculation blocks and the average values or the adjusted values wherein, at the step (b), on assumption that multiple reference blocks belonging to the respective windows from the first to the n-th ones are called as a first reference block group to an n-th reference block group, if there is a first reference block with a certain size at a certain relative position in a window and there is a second reference block with the certain size at the certain relative position in another window, the apparatus assigns a corresponding average value or a corresponding adjusted value to the first and the second reference blocks.
