provided is a captured image recognition device that enables the performance of an image recognition function to be sufficiently evinced . a field - of - view splitting estimation unit estimates the splitting of the field of view of a camera unit using a captured image . on the basis of the estimated splitting of the field of view , a candidate application selection unit selects , from among a plurality of image recognition applications , candidates for an image recognition application that is favorable or able to execute processing with respect to a current captured image . an image recognition processing unit executes the image recognition application selected by a user from among the candidate applications . as a result , the performance of an image recognition function can be sufficiently evinced as a result of it being possible to execute an image recognition application that is suitable to the current captured image .
