FACE AUTHENTICATION DEVICE, FACE AUTHENTICATION METHOD, AND FACE AUTHENTICATION PROGRAM

摘要

When a human detection sensor detects a person to be authenticated, an illumination unit obtains ambient light illuminance measured by an illuminance sensor. Lighting illuminance is then determined by using illuminance conversion information, which indicates the lighting illuminance corresponding to the ambient light illuminance, so that when the ambient light illuminance is low, the lighting illuminance becomes low, and when the ambient light illuminance is high, the lighting illuminance becomes high. The illuminance of a light source is controlled so that intensity of illumination becomes the determined illuminance. A face authentication terminal then authenticates the person to be authenticated under illumination by the illumination unit.
