Abstract: A defogging system includes: a vehicle speed sensor configured to detect a vehicle speed; a first heater arranged outside a field of view of an imaging device and configured to heat a window; a second heater arranged inside the field of view of the imaging device, arranged to be in contact with the window, and configured to heat the window; and a controller configured to control the first heater and the second heater. The controller is configured to determine whether the vehicle is stopped based on a detection result of the vehicle speed sensor, activate the first heater and the second heater in a case where a first condition is satisfied, the first condition including a condition that the vehicle is stopped, and activate only the first heater in a case where a second condition is satisfied, the second condition including a condition that the vehicle is traveling.

Abstract: A face authentication apparatus includes a first authentication unit that performs first authentication on a face image of an authentication target based on a threshold, a second authentication unit that performs second authentication by an authentication method other than face authentication, a detection unit that detects use or non-use of the second authentication unit, a threshold change unit that sets a larger value to the threshold when the second authentication unit is used, compared with a value to be set when the second authentication unit is not used, and a personal authentication unit that performs personal authentication based on a result of the first authentication when the second authentication unit is not used, while performs personal authentication based on the results of the first authentication and the second authentication when the second authentication unit is used, with use of the threshold after the setting.

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.

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.
