Abstract

A group to be authenticated in face authentication is efficiently registered in a system. An information processing system includes a face detection unit configured to detect a face from an image in which a plurality of faces of persons are shown, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the face detected by the face detection unit satisfies a predetermined condition, and a registration information generation unit configured to generate registration information, the registration information being information in which a partial image of each of a plurality of faces that have been determined to satisfy the predetermined condition is associated with an identifier identifying a group to be authenticated in face authentication.

Claims (20)

1. An information processing system comprising:

at least one memory storing program instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

detect a particular face from each of a plurality of images in each of which a plurality of faces of persons are shown, the images successively taken at a predetermined time interval, the particular face detected in each image being of a same person;

determine whether or not the particular face detected from each image satisfies a predetermined condition, by determining whether or not a fluctuation distance representing a variation of a position of the particular face over the images successively taken at the predetermined time interval is equal to or shorter than a predetermined threshold; and

in response to determining that the particular face detected from each image satisfies the predetermined condition, generate registration information by associating, from each image, a partial image including the particular face with an identifier identifying a group to be authenticated in face authentication.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to determine, as determination as to whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied, whether or not a direction of a line of sight of the particular face is a predetermined direction in each image.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to receive an instruction to select whether or not the particular face that is determined to satisfy the predetermined condition should be regarded as an object to be authenticated, and

the at least one processor is to generate the registration information further in accordance with the instruction.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to determine, as determination as to whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied, whether or not a subject distance between the particular face in each image and a photographing apparatus capturing each image satisfies a distance condition.

5. A method for managing an object to be authenticated, comprising:

detecting a particular face from each of a plurality of image in each of which a plurality of faces of persons are shown, the images successively taken at a predetermined time interval, the particular face detected in each image being of a same person;

determining whether or not the particular face detected from each image satisfies a predetermined condition, by determining whether or not a fluctuation distance representing a variation of a position of the particular face over the images successively taken at the predetermined time interval is equal to or shorter than a predetermined threshold; and

in response to determining that the particular face detected from each image satisfies the predetermined condition, generating registration information by associating, from each image, a partial image including the particular face with an identifier identifying a group to be authenticated in face authentication.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute steps of:

detecting a particular face from each of a plurality of image in each of which a plurality of faces of persons are shown, the images successively taken at a predetermined time interval, the particular face detected in each image being of a same person;

determining whether or not the particular face detected from each image satisfies a predetermined condition, by determining whether or not a fluctuation distance representing a variation of a position of the particular face over the images successively taken at the predetermined time interval is equal to or shorter than a predetermined threshold; and

in response to determining that the particular face detected from each image satisfies the predetermined condition, generating registration information by associating, from each image, a partial image including the particular face with an identifier identifying a group to be authenticated in face authentication.
