Abstract: An authentication device includes an image acquisition unit, an identification unit, and an authentication unit. The image acquisition unit acquires an image of an eye of a subject. The identification unit identifies the colored pattern of a colored contact lens worn by the subject by comparing a reference image with the image of the eye. The authentication unit identifies the subject, using a feature in a region other than a colored region of the colored pattern in the iris region of the eye.

Abstract: Iris image pick-up devices perform image pick-up of an iris of a moving subject. A guiding device guides the subject. A controller predicts a period in which the subject will blink next. Further, the controller predicts a period in which the subject will pass through the focusing point of the iris image pick-up devices. The controller controls the guiding device such that the subject does not blink at the focusing point in the case where the period in which the subject will blink next overlaps with the period in which the subject will pass through the focusing point.
