You would acknowledge them by saying hello or by just nodding at them. You would make your presence known to them.
You would recognize them by seeing them and knowing who they were but not necessary acknowledging them.
You "recognize" in your mind: you see something and know what it is (or see a person, and know who it is).
You "acknowledge" by speaking or writing: you tell others "this thing is true" or "I know this person".
