Abstract: An authentication device includes an acquisition unit that acquires first image data generated at a first timing and indicating a first face of a living creature to be authenticated, age information indicating an age of the living creature at the first timing, second image data generated at a second timing later than the first timing and indicating a second face of the living creature, and aging information indicating a time period from the first timing to the second timing, and a controller that compares the first image data with the second image data.

Abstract: An imaged face image of a comparison target person is compared to a registered face image. When a comparison score indicating a result of the comparison is equal to or smaller than Th1 and it is determined that the comparison target person in the imaged face image is not a subject of the registered face image, it is determined whether or not the comparison score is equal to or greater than Th2 (Th2<Th1). When the comparison score is equal to or greater than Th2, a partial score indicating similarity between the imaged face image and a portion of the registered face image is calculated. When the calculated partial score is equal to or smaller than Th3, processing of emphasizing a portion corresponding to the partial score is performed on at least one of the imaged face image and the registered face image. The processed image is displayed.
