PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a similar information collation device which discriminates the similarity of information by pattern collation in the case that a noise is generated in a minute pattern partially coinciding in a collation pattern to break up the minute pattern. SOLUTION: A similar information collation device 1 is provided with a means 10 which generates first and second patterns represented by the positions and features of the elements from information to be collated, a means 20 which generates a collation map 30 consisting of collation positions whose coordinates are pairs of positions of first and second elements having the same features in the first and second patterns, a means 40 which evaluates the continuity of each of routes where neighboring collation positions in the collation map 30 are successively connected, and a means 40 which discriminates the degree of coincidence between the first and second patterns on the basis of the continuity of each route.
