Abstract

A living body detection device (1) includes: an image acquisition unit (171), a determination unit (173) and a detection unit (174). The image acquisition unit (171) acquires a first image in which a subject irradiated by light in a first wavelength range is imaged, and a second image in which the subject irradiated by light in a second wavelength range is imaged, the second wavelength range being different from the first wavelength range. The determination unit (173) determines whether a relation expressed by luminance of the subject imaged in the first image and luminance of the subject imaged in the second image is a relation exhibited by a living body. The detection unit (174) detects that the subject is a living body in a case where the determination unit (173) has determined that it is the relation exhibited by the living body.

         15 . The living body detection device according to  claim 14 , comprising:
 an illumination unit that emits light in the first wavelength range and light in the second wavelength range at the subject;   an imaging unit that captures the first image and the second image;   an imaging control unit that synchronizes emission of the light in the first wavelength range by the illumination unit and capture of the first image by the imaging unit, and synchronizes emission of the light in the second wavelength range by the illumination unit and capture of the second image by the imaging unit.   
     
     
         16 . The living body detection device according to  claim 15 ,
 wherein the illumination unit includes a light source of an infrared LED emitting the light in the first wavelength range and a light source of an infrared LED emitting the light in the second wavelength range, and   the imaging unit is constituted by one infrared camera that captures the first image and the second image.   
     
     
         17 . The living body detection device according to  claim 14 ,

         22 . The living body detection device according to  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a notification unit that gives notice that the subject is not a living body in a case where the detection unit has detected that the subject is not a living body.   
     
     
         23 . The living body detection device according to  claim 14 , wherein the living body is skin. 
     
     
         24 . The living body detection device according to  claim 17 , wherein the fake living body is constituted with silicone resin. 
     
     
         25 . A living body detection method comprising:
