Abstract

A light source ( 11 ) of a disguising mask detecting device ( 1 ) emits light at a person who is a subject. A camera ( 12 ) acquires images in multiple different wavelength ranges of reflected light of the light emitted at the person. A face detector ( 172 ) detects a face region of the person from the images acquired by the camera ( 12 ). A determiner ( 173 ) determines that the person is wearing a disguising mask when luminances of the face region in the images satisfy specific relations different from relations exhibited by skin.

Claims (30)
