Dermal image information processing device, dermal image information processing method, and program
A dermal image information processing device including a memory; and a hardware component that reads data from the memory and is configured to: acquire dermal image information showing ridge lines in a papillary layer; detect an singular region in a pattern of the ridge lines; detect a position that is furthest away from the singular region; determine a region for collation based on the detected position; and perform collation of the pattern of the ridge lines using only feature points that are included in the region for collation.
1. A dermal image information processing device comprising:
a memory; and
a hardware component that reads data from the memory and is configured to:
acquire dermal image information showing ridge lines in a papillary layer;
detect a singular region in a pattern of the ridge lines;
detect a position that is furthest away from the singular region;
determine a region for collation based on the detected position; and
perform collation of the pattern of the ridge lines using only feature points that are included in the region for collation.
2. The dermal image information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware component is configured to determine, as the region for collation, a region within which transition of directions of the ridge lines from the detected position and pitches of the ridge lines from the detected position are not abnormal.
3. The dermal image information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware component is configured to determine, as the region for collation, a region of points included a circle whose radius is equal to a length between the detected position and the abnormal region, the circle being centered at the detected position.
4. The dermal image information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware component is further configured to:
when performing collation of the pattern of the ridge lines in which the singular region is detected with a pre-registered pattern, change at least either one of a positional deviation allowance which represents a degree to which positional deviation is allowed, and a mismatch allowance which represents a degree to which a mismatch is allowed, such that the pattern of the ridge lines in which the singular region is detected becomes more likely to be regarded to be same as the pre-registered pattern.
5. A dermal image processing method comprising:
acquiring dermal image information showing ridge lines in a papillary layer;
detecting a singular region in a pattern of the ridge lines;
detecting a position that is furthest away from the singular region;
determining a region for collation based on the detected position; and
performing collation of the pattern of the ridge lines using only feature points that are included in the region for collation.
6. The dermal image information processing method according to claim 5 , comprising determining, as the region for collation, a region within which transition of directions of the ridge lines from the detected position and pitches of the ridge lines from the detected position are not abnormal.
7. The dermal image information processing method according to claim 5 , comprising determining, as the region for collation, a region of points included a circle whose radius is equal to a length between the detected position and the abnormal region, the circle being centered at the detected position.
8. The dermal image information processing method according to claim 5 , further comprising changing, when performing collation of the pattern of the ridge lines in which the singular region is detected with a pre-registered pattern, at least either one of a positional deviation allowance which represents a degree to which positional deviation is allowed, and a mismatch allowance which represents a degree to which a mismatch is allowed, such that the pattern of the ridge lines in which the singular region is detected becomes more likely to be regarded to be same as the pre-registered pattern.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform:
acquiring dermal image information showing ridge lines in a papillary layer;
detecting a singular region in a pattern of the ridge lines;
detecting a position that is furthest away from the singular region;
determining a region for collation based on the detected position; and
performing collation of the pattern of the ridge lines using only feature points that are included in the region for collation.
10. The storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform determining, as the region for collation, a region within which transition of directions of the ridge lines from the detected position and pitches of the ridge lines from the detected position are not abnormal.
11. The storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform determining, as the region for collation, a region of points included a circle whose radius is equal to a length between the detected position and the abnormal region, the circle being centered at the detected position.
12. The storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform changing, when performing collation of the pattern of the ridge lines in which the singular region is detected with a pre-registered pattern, at least either one of a positional deviation allowance which represents a degree to which positional deviation is allowed, and a mismatch allowance which represents a degree to which a mismatch is allowed, such that the pattern of the ridge lines in which the singular region is detected becomes more likely to be regarded to be same as the pre-registered pattern.
