Abstract

An information processing system ( 10 ) comprises: a storage means ( 110 ) for storing face information of a user and re-identification information used for re-identification of the user in association with each other; an acquiring means ( 120 ) for acquiring the face information and the re-identification information of a target user; a determining means ( 130 ) for performing determination whether or not the face information and the re-identification information of the target user are a pair stored in association with each other; and an output means ( 140 ) for outputting according to a result of the determination. According to the information processing system, it is possible to appropriately detect spoofing of a target user.

Claims (30)

1. An information processing system comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

store a first pair consisting of face information of a user and re-identification information used for re-identification of the user in association with each other;

acquire, after acquiring the first pair, a second pair consisting of the face information and the re-identification information of a target user;

perform determination of whether or not the first pair and the second pair match by comparing the first pair with the second pair;

output information indicating that the target user is performing spoofing when having determined that the first pair and the second pair do not match; and

perform face verification of the target user in a case when having determined that the first pair and the second pair match.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the re-identification information includes at least one or more of the following a body shape, clothes, a gait, a property, an attendant and voice of the user, and information obtained from a thing owned by the user.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein

the information processing system comprises a plurality of cameras, and

the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to acquire and stores the face information and the re-identification information from the plurality of cameras provided at a plurality of locations.

4. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the determination by extracting re-identification information, which matches the re-identification information of the target user, from the stored re-identification information, and by determining whether or not the face information associated with the extracted re-identification information matches face information of the target user.

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

the information processing system comprises a plurality of cameras, and

the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to acquire and stores the face information and the re-identification information from the plurality of cameras provided at a plurality of locations.

6. The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the determination by extracting re-identification information, which matches the re-identification information of the target user, from the stored re-identification information, and by determining whether or not the face information associated with the extracted re-identification information matches face information of the target user.

7. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the determination by extracting re-identification information, which matches the re-identification information of the target user, from the stored re-identification information, and by determining whether or not the face information associated with the extracted re-identification information matches face information of the target user.

8. The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein

the re-identification information includes a plurality of types of information, and

the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to extract the re-identification information in which a predetermined number or more of a plurality of types of information coincide as re-identification information, which matches the re-identification information of the target user.

9. An information processing method performed by a computer and comprising:

storing a first pair consisting of face information of a user and re-identification information used for re-identification of the user in association with each other:

acquiring, after acquiring the first pair, a second pair consisting of the face information and the re-identification information of a target user:

performing determination of whether or not the first pair and the second pair match by comparing the first pair with the second pair; output information indicating that the target user is performing spoofing when having determined that the first pair and the second pair do not match; and

performing face verification of the target user in a case when having determined that the first pair and the second pair match.

10. A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer program for causing executable by a computer to perform an information processing method comprising:

acquiring, after acquiring the first pair, a second pair consisting of the face information and the re-identification information of a target user:

performing determination of whether or not the first pair and the second pair match by comparing the first pair with the second pair; output information indicating that the target user is performing spoofing when having determined that the first pair and the second pair do not match; and

performing face verification of the target user in a case when having determined that the first pair and the second pair match.
