  • Patent number: 11978295
    Abstract: A collation system of the present invention includes imaging means for acquiring a captured image of a pre-passage side area with respect to each of gates arranged in parallel with each other, and collation means for performing a collation process on the captured image of the pre-passage side area for each of the gates, between a previously registered target and a target included in the captured image. The collation means performs the collation process on the basis of a target in the captured image corresponding to one of the gates and a target in the captured image corresponding to another one of the gates.

  • Publication number: 20230410555
    Abstract: A collation system of the present invention includes an imaging means for acquiring a captured image of a pre-passage side area with respect to a gate, a collation means for performing a collation process between a previously registered target and a target in the captured image, and a determination means for determining propriety of passage of the target with respect to the gate, on the basis of a result of the collation process. The collation means initiates the collation process on the basis of a condition, set to each area of the captured image, for the target located in the area.

  • Patent number: 11790716
    Abstract: A face authentication apparatus includes a face image acquisition unit, a collation unit, a time measurement unit, and a threshold change unit. The face image acquisition unit acquires a face image of an authentication target. The collation unit performs face authentication on the face image of the authentication target on the basis of a threshold. The time measurement unit measures the elapsed time from the time of starting operation of the face authentication apparatus. The threshold change unit restricts changing of the threshold to a value larger than a value determined depending on the measured elapsed time.
