1. A target recognition system to recognize one or more recognition targets, operatively connected to an imaging device to capture an image of an area ahead of the target recognition system, comprising: a recognition area detector to detect multiple recognition areas from the captured image; a recognition weighting unit to weight the probability of images of the recognition targets being present in each of the respective recognition areas detected by the recognition area detector; and a target recognition processor to recognize the one or more recognition targets in a specified recognition area based on the recognition weighting given to the respective recognition areas.
