That is, by observing which part of the palm image input from the palm image input unit 13 has the characteristic of the individual, the storage region (generally plural regions) information is determined and set from the operation unit 12. By instructing the palm image input / cutout unit 22 via the unit 21, the plurality of storage regions designated by the palm image input / cutout unit 22 are sequentially cut out and given to the feature extraction unit 23 as input palm images. The extraction unit 23 extracts the characteristics of each input palm image. Then, when the features of all the input palm images are extracted, the recitation number is input from the operation unit 12, and the recitation number is associated with the storage part information and the feature information of each storage part to store the palm pattern part 14. Remember.

Next, the authentication operation will be described. When the recitation number is input from the operation unit 12, the setting unit 21 reads the part information and the feature information corresponding to the recitation number, and sets it as the storage part information and the storage feature point information in the register in the control unit 15. Then, the palm image input / cutout unit 22 cuts out the part indicated by the part stored as the storage part information from the palm image and inputs it as the input palm image. Since a plurality of regions are usually shown as the stored region information, the palm image input / cutout unit 22 sequentially inputs the plurality of regions as input palm images, and the feature matching unit 24 for one input palm image. After the process in step is finished, the input palm image of the next part is input.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view for explaining an example of the operation of the storage part information and the palm image input / cutout section 22 of FIG. 2, and the palm image input section 13 is provided with a placement surface on which the palm is placed. A line of x = 0 and a line of y = 0 indicating the coordinate axes of the mounting surface are described. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the five fingers are placed in parallel with each other as much as possible so that the center line of the middle finger is parallel to the line of x = 0 and the tip of the middle finger is in contact with the line of y = 0.

If the site information such as 3 is matched at the coordinate position of the center point of the site, the error of the site information position at the time of registration and at the time of authentication can be reduced. Further, it is difficult to place the thumb on the other finger in parallel, and only the thumb is naturally placed on the other finger at a predetermined angle. Therefore, the position of the thumb is often deviated between the registration and the authentication, so that the site information is not set for the part of the thumb. Further, the cutout range is set to be 2 cm square at the time of registration and 2.5 cm square at the time of authentication.
