Abstract: A processing unit executes a process for creating a dedicated color palette (color palette dedicated for a palm vein GUI) as an initialization process, and creates the color palette dedicated for a palm vein GUI. The processing unit replaces a 256-level gradation grayscale palette set in an acquired photographed image with the color palette dedicated for the palm vein GUI. The processing unit performs guide GUI display for guiding a palm to an appropriate position, using a display image formed by setting the color palette dedicated for the palm vein GUI for the photographed image acquired from a photographed image-acquiring process.
