Abstract
Configuration is made by a feature pattern extracting section for extracting a feature obtainable from a person, a subspace calculating section for calculating a subspace from the feature pattern, a recognition section for effecting recognition using the subspace, a registered information holding section for holding a plurality of the subspaces, and a registered information updating section for updating the registered information using the subspaces. When identifying a person, the effect of aging change is reduced by suppressing time and year changes and keeping the recognition rate high.
