Abstract
The present invention relates to improving the identification rate for a person without lowering the rate of excluding another person probabilistically. The invention is a personal identification system that finds the verification results of feature data extracted form data showing the physical features of the individual who is the verification source against the pre-registered feature data of the verification object, and identifies the individual by whether or not the degree of similarity obtained by the verification results exceeds a separate threshold value set according to pre-registered feature data, and wherein a separate threshold value calculation device is provided that calculates the separate threshold value based on the verification score distribution of feature data extracted from data showing the physical features of the individual who is the verification source and the corresponding feature data, and the verification score distribution of the feature data extracted from data showing the physical features of the individual who is the verification source and non-corresponding feature data.
