Abstract

In order to determine whether a color contact lens is being worn on an iris, this image processing device includes: a first feature amount calculation means for using an image of the iris in a first wavelength band to calculate a first feature amount in the first wavelength band, said iris being used in authentication of a person; a second feature amount calculation means for using an image of the iris in a second wavelength band to calculate a second feature amount in the second wavelength band; and a covering determination means for determining, on the basis of the first feature amount and the second feature amount, whether a color contact lens is present on the iris.

Claims (47)

1. An authentication system comprising:

a capture device configured to capture an iris used for authentication of a person using a first wavelength band and a second wavelength band;

an authentication device configured to authenticate the person using a determination result of presence or absence of a color contact lens on the iris;

an information processing device configured to execute processing based on an authentication result of the authentication device; and

an image processing device including:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory,

the at least one processor performing operations to:

calculate a first feature amount in the first wavelength band using an image in the first wavelength band,

calculate a second feature amount in the second wavelength band using an image in the second wavelength band, and

determine presence or absence of the color contact lens on the iris based on the first feature amount and the second feature amount, wherein

the capture device includes:

a transmitted light change element that changes a wavelength band of light transmitted based on a control signal; and

a capture element that outputs an image based on the transmitted light of the transmitted light change element.

2. An authentication method comprising:

by an image processing device included in an authentication system including

a capture device configured to capture an iris used for authentication of a person using a first wavelength band and a second wavelength band,

an authentication device configured to authenticate the person using a determination result of presence or absence of a color contact lens on the iris, and

an information processing device configured to execute processing based on an authentication result of the authentication device,

calculating a first feature amount in the first wavelength band using an image in the first wavelength band;

calculating a second feature amount in the second wavelength band using an image in the second wavelength band; and

determining presence or absence of the color contact lens on the iris based on the first feature amount and the second feature amount, wherein

the capture device includes a transmitted light change element and a capture element, and

the authentication method further comprises:

changing a wavelength band of light transmitted based on a control signal by the transmitted light change element, and

outputting an image based on the transmitted light of the transmitted light change element by the capture element.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer included in an authentication system including

a capture device configured to capture an iris used for authentication of a person using a first wavelength band and a second wavelength band,

an authentication device configured to authenticate the person using a determination result of presence or absence of a color contact lens on the iris, and

an information processing device configured to execute processing based on an authentication result of the authentication device, to execute:

calculating a first feature amount in the first wavelength band using an image in the first wavelength band;

calculating a second feature amount in the second wavelength band using an image in the second wavelength band; and

determining presence or absence of the color contact lens on the iris based on the first feature amount and the second feature amount, wherein

the capture device includes a transmitted light change element and a capture element, and

the program is further for causing the computer to execute:

changing a wavelength band of light transmitted based on a control signal by the transmitted light change element, and

outputting an image based on the transmitted light of the transmitted light change element by the capture element.

4. The authentication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first wavelength band is a visible light band, and

the second wavelength band is a near-infrared light band.

5. The authentication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first feature amount is an average value of pixel values in the image in the first wavelength band, and

the second feature amount is an average value of pixel values in the image in the second wavelength band.

6. The authentication system according to claim 5 , wherein

the first feature amount is an average value of pixel values in an image of a portion of wavelength band within the first wavelength band.

7. The authentication system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor performs the operations to further:

determine presence or absence of the color contact lens based on a ratio of the first feature amount and the second feature amount.
