Abstract: In a focus determination device, an acquisition acquires an iris image including an iris of a user. A filter processing unit performs a filter processing by applying an image processing filter in a shape decided based on a shape of a light applied to the user to the iris image. A focus determination unit determines whether or not the iris image is in focus based on the iris image resulting from the filter processing.
