Unauthorized person detection device and unauthorized person detection method
First Claim
1. A masquerading detection device which, for use in determining whether a target is a specified person or not, detects the target being a non-specified person who masquerades as said specified person, comprising:
- target information obtaining means having a light emitter which irradiates said target with light, as well as projecting a predetermined pattern onto the target, a filter which transmits light emitted by the light emitter disposed in the vicinity of a light source of said light emitter, and target image obtaining means which photographs a target on which a predetermined pattern is projected by light emission of said light emitter to obtain target image data indicative of the target, image storage means which stores said target image data, and data processing means having masquerading determination means which determines whether said target is said non-specified person or not, wherein said masquerading determination means compares a pattern appearing in a face region of a target image represented by said target image data and said predetermined pattern to determine whether said target has a plane configuration or not and when the target has a plane configuration, determines that the target is a non-specified person.

Abstract
In masquerading determination processing, a masquerading determination unit reads image data representing an image of an identification target on which a striped pattern is projected from an image storage unit to extract the striped pattern appearing in a face region of the image represented by the read image data. Subsequently, the masquerading determination unit determines whether a stripe in the face region in the image is a straight line or not. When the stripe is a straight line, because the identification target is a plane object such as a photograph or an image display device so that it can be determined that the target is at least not a person himself, the masquerading determination unit determines that the target masquerades. On the other hand, unless the stripe is a straight line, because the identification target has a solid configuration having three-dimensional irregularities to have a possibility of being a person himself, the unit determines that the target might not masquerade.

23. A masquerading detection device which, for use in determining whether a target is a specified person or not, detects the target being a non-specified person who masquerades as said specified person, comprising:
-
target information obtaining means having target image obtaining means which photographs a target to obtain target image data indicative of the target and an object sensor disposed adjacent to said target image obtaining means, image storage means which stores said target image data and feature storage means in which a sensing result of said object sensor is stored, and data processing means having masquerading determination means which determines whether said target is said non-specified person or not, wherein said object sensor senses a target located at a distance shorter than an appropriate distance between said target image obtaining means and a specified person, and said masquerading determination means determines whether a target is sensed by said object sensor or not and when sensed, determines that the target is a non-specified person.

24. A masquerading detection device which, for use in determining whether a target is a specified person or not, detects the target being a non-specified person who masquerades as said specified person, comprising:
-
target information obtaining means having a back light emitter which illuminates a target with light from the back and target image obtaining means which photographs a target illuminated with light from the back by light emission of said back light emitter to obtain backlighted image data indicative of a backlighted target, image storage means which stores said backlighted image data, and data processing means having masquerading determination means which determines whether said target is said non-specified person or not, wherein said masquerading determination means extracts a region whose luminance value in a backlighted image represented by backlighted image data obtained by said target image obtaining means is not more than a predetermined value to separate a target region in the backlighted image from a background region, determines whether a boundary between the target region and the background region has a configuration of a human head and determines that the target is a non-specified person unless the boundary has a configuration of a human head.
