An information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a two-dimensional image of a person, and a registered image group including two-dimensional registered images and three-dimensional registered images of a plurality of registrants; and a selection unit that selects a type of a registered image to be used for matching from one of the two-dimensional registered images and the three-dimensional registered images based on the two-dimensional image, prior to the matching the two-dimensional image with the registered image group.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium

There is provided a display control apparatus that allows an operator to grasp a factor leading a face recognition result at a glance and to confirm or modify the face recognition result on the spot. The display control apparatus comprises a similarity acquirer that acquires a similarity between each pair of partial regions of face images by performing collation processing between the each pair of partial regions of the face images, and a display controller that controls to overlay, on the face images, at least one of a first region the similarity of which exceeds a threshold and a second region the similarity of which does not exceed the threshold, and display the overlaid face images. The display controller controls to overlay and display the first region and the second region in contrast with each other on the face images.

Data processing device, image matching method, program, and image matching system

To provide a masquerade detection system which can detect a masquerade using a photograph, a picture or the like, without using an additional device other than an image picking-up device. A masquerade detection method includes an image conversion step in which an image conversion from one flat plane to the other flat plane is carried out from a first image of an examining object picked up from a first angle into a second image of an examining object picked up from a second angle different from the first angle to generate a converted image, and a masquerade judging step in which the converted image and the second image are entirely or partially compared with each other and, if a compared result satisfies a predetermined condition, an attempt to do a masquerade is judged.
