Abstract: An image recognition device includes: a camera unit that generates a distance signal and a luminance signal using reflected light from a plurality of subjects; an image generator that generates a range image from the distance signal and generates a luminance image from the luminance signal; and an image recognition processor that performs image recognition. The image recognition processor divides each of the range image and the luminance image into a plurality of regions, makes a determination, for each of the plurality of regions, as to whether the regions is a first region in which a specific object is clearly not present or a second region other than the first region, and performs image recognition processing on, among the plurality of regions, one or more regions other than the first region.
