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 (40)

1. A living body detection device comprising:

an illumination unit that comprises multiple light sources which irradiate infrared light in different wavelength ranges, the illumination unit illuminating a subject and an indicator by the infrared light;

an imaging unit that captures the subject illuminated by the infrared light;

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to process the instructions to:

acquire the captured images of the subject illuminated by the infrared light;

determine whether the subject in the captured images is a living body or not based on a relation between luminance of the subject illuminated with the infrared light in different wavelength ranges;

obtain luminance of the infrared light based on luminance of the infrared light reflected by the indicator; and

determine the wavelength range of the infrared light illuminating the subject based on the luminance of the infrared light.

2. The living body detection device according to claim 1 , the at least one processor is further configured to:

give notice in a case where it has been determined that the subject is not a living body.

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

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

the at least one processor determines whether the subject is a living body or fake living body constituted with silicone resin based on the luminance of the subject in the captured images.

5. A living body detection method by a living body detection device,

the living body detection device comprising:

an illumination unit that comprises multiple light sources which irradiate infrared light in different wavelength ranges, the illumination unit illuminating a subject and an indicator by the infrared light; and

an imaging unit that captures the subject illuminated by the infrared light, the living body detection method comprising:

a step of acquiring the captured images of the subject illuminated by the infrared light;

a step of determining whether the subject in the captured images is a living body or not based on a relation between luminance of the subject illuminated with the infrared light in different wavelength ranges;

a step of obtaining luminance of the infrared light based on luminance of the infrared light reflected by the indicator; and

a step of determining the wavelength range of the infrared light illuminating the subject based on the luminance of the infrared light.

6. The living body detection method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a step of giving notice in a case where it has determined that the subject is not a living body.

7. The living body detection method according to claim 5 , wherein the living body is skin.

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

the step of determining comprises determining whether the subject is a living body or fake living body constituted with silicone resin based on the luminance of the subject in the captured images.

9. A non-transitory recording medium that stores a program that causes a computer to control an illumination unit and an imaging unit, wherein:

the illumination unit comprises multiple light sources which irradiate infrared light in different wavelength ranges, the illumination unit illuminating a subject and an indicator by the infrared light; and

the imaging unit captures the subject illuminated by the infrared light;

the program causes the computer to:

acquire the captured images of the subject illuminated by the infrared light;

determine whether the subject in the captured images is a living body or not based on a relation between luminance of the subject illuminated with the infrared light in different wavelength ranges;

control the illumination unit to change the wavelength range of the infrared light illuminating the subject by switching the light sources; and

determine the wavelength range of the infrared light illuminating the subject when the imaging unit captures the subject, based on luminance of the infrared light that is obtained based on luminance of the infrared light reflected by the indicator.

10. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 9 , wherein the program stored in the non-transitory recording medium further causes the computer to:

give notice in a case where it has been determined that the subject is not a living body.

11. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 9 , wherein the living body is skin.

12. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 9 , wherein the program stored in the non-transitory recording medium further causes the computer to:

determine whether the subject is a living body or fake living body constituted with silicone resin based on the luminance of the subject in the captured images.
