Abstract: An apparatus for identifying a fake face is provided. A first eye image acquirer acquires a first eye image by taking a picture of a subject while radiating a first ray having a first wavelength. A second eye image acquirer acquires a second eye image by taking a picture of the subject while radiating a second ray having a second wavelength that is shorter than the first wavelength. A controller extracts a first area and a second area having brighter lightness than the first area from each of the first and second eye images, calculates a lightness of the first area and a lightness of the second area in the first eye image, and a lightness of the first area and a lightness of the second area in the second eye image, and determines whether the subject uses a fake face based on the calculated lightness.

Abstract: An apparatus for recognizing a face of a person adaptively controls brightness of illumination around the person through image analysis. The apparatus obtains an optimal image through the adaptive brightness control of the illumination regardless of various environments for face recognition.
