  • Publication number: 20210340804
    Abstract: An information processing device of the present invention includes: a matching means that executes a matching process of performing matching between an object within a captured image obtained by capturing a pre-passing side region of a gate and a previously registered object; a distance estimating means that estimates a distance from the gate to the object within the captured image by using a reference value set based on an attribute of the object within the captured image; and a gate controlling means that controls opening and closing of the gate based on a result of the matching and the estimated distance to the object within the captured image.

  • Patent number: 11163979
    Abstract: A face authentication apparatus includes a face image acquisition unit that acquires a face image of an authentication target, a collation unit that performs face authentication by calculating similarity between face information of the face image of the authentication target and reference face image of each registered user and comparing the similarity with a threshold, a prediction unit that predicts a change in the similarity on the basis of similarity history on authentication success, and a threshold change unit that changes the threshold on the basis of the prediction result.

  • Publication number: 20210117655
    Abstract: An information processing device of the present invention includes: an image processing means that extracts a feature value of an object within a captured image obtained by capturing a pre-passing region of a gate, and stores matching information relating to matching of the object based on the feature value; a distance estimating means that estimates a distance from the gate to the object within the captured image; and a matching means that executes matching determination based on the estimated distance and the stored matching information of the object that the distance has been estimated.

  • Publication number: 20210081649
    Abstract: A face authentication apparatus includes a face image acquisition unit that acquires, as a first face image, a face image of a user who moves from a first area to a second area via a gate provided between the first area and the second area, a collation unit that performs face authentication, a flow rate measurement unit that measures a flow rate of users who move from the first area to the second area via the gate and a flow rate of users who move from the second area to the first area via the gate, and a security level determination unit that determines the security level of the first area and the security level of the second area on the basis of the flow rates measured.

  • Publication number: 20210081654
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200357209
    Abstract: A face authentication apparatus includes a face image acquisition unit that acquires a face image of a user who passes through a first gate provided at a first boundary between zones, a collation unit that performs face authentication on the face image on the basis of a threshold, an operating state acquisition unit that acquires an operating state of a second gate provided at a second boundary that is different from the first boundary, and a threshold change unit that changes the threshold on the basis of the operating state of the second gate.

  • Publication number: 20200265217
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200202110
    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.
