Abstract:
The present invention relates to an animal recognition apparatus including an image recognition unit to generate, enroll, verify, and identify the raw or processed nose pattern code from the acquired nose pattern image, and to an animal recognition method including a nose pattern image acquisition step and nose code generation, enrollment, and matching steps.

Claim (Index 53):
The animal recognition apparatus according to  claim 39 , wherein the final distance between two ROIs is defined as one of a geometric average, an arithmetic average, and the minimum of all values of block distances between two corresponding slice regions for all pairs of slice regions wherein each block distance is computed by Equation (9), wherein the nose pattern code for a translated region of the k-th slice region \u03b1 in ROI A is denoted by [C 1 ( k, \u03b4 x , \u03b4 y ), M 1 ( k, \u03b4 x , \u03b4 y )] and that for the translated region of the k-th slice region \u03b2 in ROI B is denoted by [C 2 ( k, \u0394 x , \u0394 y ), M 2 ( k, \u0394 x , \u0394 y )], and wherein a range of said slice region \u03b1 is R 1 , a range of said slice region \u03b2 is R 2 , XOR denotes an operator of bitwise Exclusive-OR, AND denotes an operator of bitwise AND, and A denotes a number of bits whose value is 1 in the array of bits A. D \ue8a0 ( k ) = min ( \u03b4 x , \u03b4 y ) \u2208 R 1 , ( \u0394 x , \u0394 y ) \u2208 R 2 \ue89e \uf603 ( C 1 \ue89e \ue89e XOR \ue89e \ue89e C 2 ) \ue89e \ue89e AND \ue89e \ue89e ( M 1 \ue89e \ue89e AND \ue89e \ue89e \ue89e M 2 ) \uf604 \uf603 M 1 \ue89e \ue89e AND \ue89e \ue89e M 2 \uf604 ( Equation \ue89e \ue89e 9 )
