To accurately recognize observed objects.
An observed-object recognition system includes an observation region estimation portion, an existence region estimation portion, and an object recognition portion. The observation region estimation portion estimates an observation region that is relatively highly likely to be an observation point in at least one first-person image in a first-person video (a video based on the first-person perspective). Based on the observation region, the existence region estimation portion estimates an existence region that belongs to the first-person image and causes an observed object to exist. The object recognition portion recognizes an object in the estimated existence region of the first-person image.
