Information processing apparatus, verification method, and computer-readable recording medium recording verification program

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor which is coupled to the memory and performs processing of:

calculating, for each of a plurality of first feature points in a registered image registered in advance, a positional difference and a degree of similarity in feature value between the first feature point and each of a plurality of second feature points in a verification image captured by an imaging device and creating a pair information list in which a plurality of pairs of the first feature point and the second feature point each pair having the positional difference which is equal to or less than a first threshold value are associated with the positional difference and the degree of the similarity;

calculating an overall movement amount which is an average or a median of the plurality of pairs in the pair information list;

calculating a final degree of similarity by acquiring, from the pair information list, N (N is a predetermined constant) pairs ranked from the top of the degree of similarity and excluding, from the acquired N pairs, one or more pairs having a difference between the overall movement amount and the corresponding positional difference which is equal to or higher than a second threshold value; and

matching the verification image against the registered image by using the final degree of similarity.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor aligns the verification image and the registered image before the verification image is matched against the registered image.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor:

determines whether a rotation error of a subject of the verification image is less than a third threshold value; and

not uses the degree of similarity that is second highest or lower in the acquired N pairs in a case where it is determined that the rotation error is less than the third threshold value.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor:

calculates a reliability of a contour of a subject of the verification image;

performs the alignment by using the contour; and

not uses the degree of similarity that is second highest or lower in the acquired N pairs in a case where the reliability is equal to or higher than a fourth threshold value.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor:

stores an operational condition of the information processing apparatus in the memory; and

not uses the degree of similarity that is second highest or lower in the acquired N pairs in a case where the operational condition stored in the memory satisfies a predetermined condition.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging device captures an image of a living body as a verification image, and the first and second feature points are feature points that appears on the living body.

7. A verification method comprising:

calculating, for each of a plurality of first feature points in a registered image registered in advance, a positional difference and a degree of similarity in feature value between the first feature point and each of a plurality of second feature points in a verification image captured by an imaging device and creating, a pair information list in which a plurality of pairs of the first feature point and the second feature point each pair having the positional difference which is equal to or less than a first threshold value are associated with the positional difference and the degree of the similarity;

calculating an overall movement amount which is an average or a median of the plurality of pairs in the pair information list;

calculating a final degree of similarity by acquiring, from the pair information list, N (N is a predetermined constant) pairs ranked from the top of the degree of similarity and excluding, from the acquired N pairs, one or more pairs having a difference between the overall movement amount and the corresponding positional difference which is equal to or higher than a second threshold value; and

matching the verification image against the registered image by using the final degree of similarity.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a verification program for causing a computer to perform:

calculating, for each of a plurality of first feature points in a registered image registered in advance, a positional difference and a degree of similarity in feature value between the first feature point and each of a plurality of second feature points in a verification image captured by an imaging device and creating a pair information list in which a plurality of pairs of the first feature point and the second feature point each pair having the positional difference which is equal to or less than a first threshold value are associated with the positional difference and the degree of the similarity;

calculating an overall movement amount which is an average or a median of the plurality of pairs in the pair information list;

calculating a final degree of similarity by acquiring, from the pair information list, N (N is a predetermined constant) pairs ranked from the top of the degree of similarity and excluding, from the acquired N pairs, one or more pairs having a difference between the overall movement amount and the corresponding positional difference which is equal to or higher than a second threshold value; and

matching the verification image against the registered image by using the final degree of similarity.
