A motion control apparatus having a control circuit inputted with a current state of an object to be controlled and outputting a motion quantity, includes a first unit for changing the value of a motion quantity by adding a randomly variable quantity to the motion quantity; a second unit for quantifying, by using an evaluation function, the merit of change in the current state of an object caused by application of the changed motion quantity to the object; a third unit for calculating an optimum motion quantity on the basis of the changed motion quantity if the evaluation function value determined by the second unit is "positive", and on the basis of the changed motion quantity multiplied by -1 if the evaluation function value is "negative"; and a fourth unit for correcting the values of transformation parameters of the control circuit so that an output of the control circuit takes a value nearer to the optimum motion quantity calculated by the third unit than the motion quantity now being outputted from the control circuit.

This invention provides a method and apparatus for automatically producing a standard pattern for local pattern matching. According to the present invention, local patterns equivalent in size to a standard pattern to be obtained are successively removed from the image of an object being examined to prepare standard pattern candidates. Evaluation values representing appropriateness as a standard pattern are obtained from the local patterns successively removed or the local patterns together with the image of the object being examined. The evaluation values are used in an evaluation function expressing the uniqueness of the standard pattern and in an auxiliary evaluation function as an aid to the former. The standard pattern is selected using such evaluation values.

Personal identification is implemented by picking up finger vein patterns when the user naturally grasps a grip such as doorknob. The device for personal identification has a light source provided to irradiate light on the finger from the palm side, a camera to pick up the vessel image of the finger, and a processor to extract features of the vessel from the image and compare the obtained features with the registered ones. The camera picks up the light that exits from the backside of the finger after penetrating it.

In a finger vein authentication unit and an information processing unit using the same, in order to realize a reduction in size and maintain high accuracy such that the finger vein authentication unit is applied to a small-sized information processing unit such as a mobile telephone, the finger vein authentication unit includes a light source which irradiates infrared light to a finger, an imaging sensor which images a vein image by the light which is diffused in the finger and transmitted through the front side of the finger, and an image processing unit which processes the image. The light source is mounted on the front side of the finger and emits the light toward the side surfaces of the finger. Further, a wall is disposed on either side of the finger vein authentication unit for supporting the finger and guiding the irradiated infrared light.

A primary object of the present invention is to extract a difference in shading of a blood vessel image in a picked up image as information to be used for authentication, and to acquire a larger number of pieces of biometric information from one image. An individual authentication device to be used to authenticate an individual using feature information of a vascular pattern acquired from a living body includes an imaging unit that images a region of the living body serving as an object of authentication, and an arithmetic unit that acquires the picked up image as an authentication image. The arithmetic unit extracts a vascular pattern from the authentication image, and acquires a degree of shading of the vascular pattern as the feature information.
摘要:
A compact and highly accurate downward irradiation type finger vein authentication device achieved by providing a structure that stabilizes the finger and also prevents adverse effects caused by the left and right fingers. The finger vein authentication device comprises a center finger stand for mounting the finger for authentication; a light source for irradiating infrared light onto the finger; an image capture unit for capturing an image of the finger veins by way of light from a light source; an aperture to open in the image capture direction of the image capture unit; a storage device to store the finger biological information; an authentication processor unit to extract the features from the image captured by the image capture unit and match the features with the biological information stored in the storage device; and a left and right finger stand for the fingers on the left and right of the finger for authentication. This left and right finger stand is installed at a position somewhat higher than the center finger stand. This left and right finger stand is also made from a light blocking member and a light source is installed in the lower section.
