Abstract

A dermal image information processing device includes a memory; and a hardware component that reads data from the memory and performs: acquiring dermal image information indicating ridge lines in a papillary layer; detecting that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by performing at least one of following determinations: determination of whether there are two or more circular cores; determination of whether there are four or more semicircular cores; determination of whether two or more semicircular cores are present and one or more circular cores are also present; and determination of whether there are four or more deltas; and outputting information of the abnormal pattern.

Claims (35)

1. A dermal image information processing device comprising:

a memory; and

a hardware component that reads data from the memory and performs:

acquiring dermal image information indicating ridge lines in a papillary layer;

detecting that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by performing at least one of following determinations:

determination of whether there are two or more circular cores;

determination of whether there are four or more semicircular cores;

determination of whether two or more semicircular cores are present and one or more circular cores are also present; and

determination of whether there are four or more deltas; and

outputting information of the abnormal pattern,

wherein the hardware component detects that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by also performing determination whether there is a delta that is nearer to a fingertip than a core.

2. The dermal image information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware component detects that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by also performing determination whether there are two or more semicircular cores each of which has a circular arc on a fingertip side.

3. The dermal image information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware component outputs, when the abnormal pattern is detected, a result showing a type of the abnormal pattern and information of a position and a type of a feature point contributing to the result.

4. A dermal image information processing method comprising:

acquiring dermal image information indicating ridge lines in a papillary layer;

detecting that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by performing at least one of following determinations:

determination of whether there are two or more circular cores;

determination of whether there are four or more semicircular cores;

determination of whether two or more semicircular cores are present and one or more circular cores are also present; and

determination of whether there are four or more deltas; and

outputting information of the abnormal pattern,

wherein the method further comprises detecting that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by also performing determination whether there is a delta that is nearer to a fingertip than a core.

5. The dermal image information processing method according to claim 4 , further comprising detecting that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by also performing determination whether there are two or more semicircular cores each of which has a circular arc on a fingertip side.

6. The dermal image information processing method according to claim 4 , further comprising outputting, when the abnormal pattern is detected, a result showing a type of the abnormal pattern and information of a position and a type of a feature point contributing to the result.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform:

acquiring dermal image information indicating ridge lines in a papillary layer;

detecting that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by performing at least one of following determinations:

determination of whether there are two or more circular cores;

determination of whether there are four or more semicircular cores;

determination of whether two or more semicircular cores are present and one or more circular cores are also present; and

determination of whether there are four or more deltas; and

outputting information of the abnormal pattern,

wherein the program further causes the computer to perform detecting that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by also performing determination whether there is a delta that is nearer to a fingertip than a core.

8. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform detecting that the papillary layer includes an abnormal pattern by also performing determination whether there are two or more semicircular cores each of which has a circular arc on a fingertip side.

9. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform outputting, when the abnormal pattern is detected, a result showing a type of the abnormal pattern and information of a position and a type of a feature point contributing to the result.
