Abstract

A living body detection device ( 1 ) includes: an image acquisition unit ( 171 ), a determination unit ( 173 ) and a detection unit ( 174 ). The image acquisition unit ( 171 ) acquires a first image in which a subject irradiated by light in a first wavelength range is imaged, and a second image in which the subject irradiated by light in a second wavelength range is imaged, the second wavelength range being different from the first wavelength range. The determination unit ( 173 ) determines whether a relation expressed by luminance of the subject imaged in the first image and luminance of the subject imaged in the second image is a relation exhibited by a living body. The detection unit ( 174 ) detects that the subject is a living body in a case where the determination unit ( 173 ) has determined that it is the relation exhibited by the living body.

Claims (29)

1. A living body detection device comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to process the instructions to:

acquire (i) a first image in which a subject irradiated by light of a first wavelength range is captured, and (ii) a second image in which the subject irradiated by light of a second wavelength range is captured; and

determine that the subject is not a living body, in the case that (i) luminance of the subject imaged in the first wavelength range is lower than luminance of a living body imaged in the first wavelength range, (ii) luminance of the subject imaged in the second wavelength range is higher than luminance of a living body imaged in the second wavelength range, and (iii) luminance of a first region of the subject imaged in the first wavelength range is lower than luminance of a second region of the subject imaged in the second wavelength range, the second region being same as the first region.

2. The living body detection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first wavelength range is about 1180 nm or around 1200 nm, and

the second wavelength range is around 1450 nm or around 1500 nm.

3. The living body detection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first wavelength range is around 1180 nm or around 1200 nm, and

the second wavelength range is around 1280 nm or around 1300 nm.

4. A living body detection method comprising:

a step of acquiring (i) a first image in which a subject irradiated by light of a first wavelength range is captured, and (ii) a second image in which the subject irradiated by light of a second wavelength range is captured; and

a step of determining that the subject is not a living body, in the case that (i) luminance of the subject imaged in the first wavelength range is lower than luminance of a living body imaged in the first wavelength range, (ii) luminance of the subject imaged in the second wavelength range is higher than luminance of a living body imaged in the second wavelength range, and (iii) luminance of a first region of the subject imaged in the first wavelength range is lower than luminance of a second region of the subject imaged in the second wavelength range, the second region being same as the first region.

5. The living body detection method according to claim 4 , wherein

the first wavelength range is around 1180 nm or around 1200 nm, and

the second wavelength range is around 1450 nm or around 1500 nm.

6. The living body detection method according to claim 4 , wherein

the first wavelength range is around 1180 nm or around 1200 nm, and

the second wavelength range is around 1280 nm or around 1300 nm.

7. A non-transitory recording medium that stores a program that causes a computer to:

acquire (i) a first image in which a subject irradiated by light of a first wavelength range is captured, and (ii) a second image in which the subject irradiated by light of a second wavelength range is captured; and

determine that the subject is not a living body, in the case that (i) luminance of the subject imaged in the first wavelength range is lower than luminance of a living body imaged in the first wavelength range, (ii) luminance of the subject imaged in the second wavelength range is higher than luminance of a living body imaged in the second wavelength range, and (iii) luminance of a first region of the subject imaged in the first wavelength range is lower than luminance of a second region of the subject imaged in the second wavelength range, the second region being same as the first region.

8. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 , wherein

the first wavelength range is around 1180 nm or around 1200 nm, and

the second wavelength range is around 1450 nm or around 1500 nm.

9. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 , wherein

the first wavelength range is around 1180 nm or around 1200 nm, and

the second wavelength range is around 1280 nm or around 1300 nm.
