  • Publication number: 20220222962
    Abstract: A computing device uses image data as an input, and estimates skeleton data by using a skeleton estimation model for estimating the skeleton data related to a skeleton of a person. The computing device then calculates weight values of respective articulations based on reliability of estimation results of the respective articulations, and computes a similarity between pieces of the skeleton data by using the calculated weight values of the respective articulations. The computing device then determines whether the similarity is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold. If the similarity is equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold, the computing device determines that authentication has succeeded, and if the similarity is smaller than the predetermined threshold, the computing device determines that authentication has failed.
