Face recognition machine and face recognition method

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the work load on the face authentication machine side when the generation of face feature amount data or the update for face matching processing occurs. SOLUTION: A face authentication machine 1 and a face verification server 6 are connected via a network, and in the face authentication machine, verification group information relating to a face verification inquiry destination regarding the own device is stored in a storage unit, and a camera 11 targets it. The person is photographed, the face matching server to which the face matching is inquired is specified based on the matching group information, and the face image data of the target person acquired by the camera is added to the face matching server to add the face. A query for matching is performed, and in the face matching server, a process of generating the face feature amount data of the subject from the face image data of the subject, and the face feature amount data of the subject and the face feature amount data of the registrant are matched. By performing processing, the collation result of the target person is acquired from the face collation server, and the collation result of the target person is output from the display 12.
