Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize reliable individual identification which can not be applied by others by picking up the image of the blood vessel of a living body or the living body external shape of a part where its blood vessel runs so as to use each image for identifying an individual. SOLUTION: At the time of picking up the image, an optional part (hand) of a person to be identified 2 is fixed to a living body fixing part 1 and irradiation light is intermittently originated from a light source 3 (a halogen lamp, etc.) to pick up a transmission light image at each irradiation by an image pickup device 4 (CCD camera, etc.). Next, arithmetic means 9 obtains the binary image of an external shape at the vessel running part from an optional one digital gradation image and the binary image of the running of the vessel from a differential image. The feature image of the person to identify is composed from these external shape image and the vessel running image to pattern-match with the feature image of the person to be identified which is already registered as a data base in a storing device 11 to identify. Information (a name, a password, a magnetic storage card, etc.) of the person to be identified is inputted to the input device 12.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Although the light transmittance of a living body is very low,
The light has a relatively high transmittance from the red to infrared wavelengths of 600 nm to 1300 nm. In this wavelength region, light absorption of hemoglobin in blood becomes dominant. Therefore, for example, when light is irradiated from the palm side of the hand and transmitted light is imaged from the back side of the hand, a thick blood vessel image near the back surface of the hand can be seen. The running of the blood vessel has a large individual difference, and if it is extracted as an image, it can be used for individual identification.
The present invention is characterized in that an image of a blood vessel of a living body or an external shape of a living body at a site where the blood vessel runs can be easily captured, and each image is used for personal identification.

To capture an image, an arbitrary portion (a hand in this embodiment) of the person to be identified 2 is fixed to the living body fixing portion 1 and irradiation light is intermittently irradiated twice from a light source 3 (eg, a halogen lamp). The transmitted light image is captured by the image pickup device 4 (CCD camera or the like) for each irradiation. A guide (not shown) such as a finger is installed on the living body fixing portion so that an arbitrary portion of the identification target 2 can be fixed at the same position each time. An optical filter 6 having a center wavelength of the transmitted light wavelength of λ1 and an optical filter 7 having a center wavelength of the transmitted light wavelength of λ2 are fixed to the optical filter holder 5. Switch between different types of optical filters.
Therefore, each image picked up by the image pickup device 4 is a transmitted light image having a different wavelength. Here, the light irradiation from the light source 3, the switching of the optical filters 6 and 7, and the imaging time are synchronized. These are all controlled by the arithmetic unit 9.

Further, in order to normalize the gray level for each image, images of the optical filters 6 and 7 are taken periodically or at the time of each image pickup, without placing any living body in the living body fixing portion. The image is stored in the storage device 10 as a normalization correction image. Each living body transmitted light image is converted from analog to digital into two grayscale digital images (hereinafter abbreviated as digital grayscale images) and transferred to one or a plurality of arithmetic units 9.
It is stored in the image storage device 10.

Next, the reason why a blood vessel running image is extracted from a difference image between two transmitted light images having different wavelengths will be described. First, in order to capture a high-quality living body transmitted light image with little noise, it is necessary to select irradiation light having a wavelength that is high in living body permeability. The wavelength of light having high biological permeability is approximately 600 to 1300 nm due to the absorption characteristics of water constituting 60 to 70% of the living body. Also, in this wavelength band, blood which is present in a relatively large amount in a living body (in particular, about 4
Low absorption of 5% of hemoglobin)
The light of 000 nm is a wavelength band having high biological permeability.

FIG. 3 shows the light absorption characteristics of oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in this wavelength band. The vertical axis represents the molecular extinction coefficient, and the larger the value, the greater the light absorption and the lower the intensity of light transmitted through the living body. The important points here are that the light absorption characteristics of hemoglobin change significantly in this wavelength band depending on the wavelength, and that the substances constituting the living body other than hemoglobin have a very small content or the light absorption. The characteristic is that the characteristics do not change significantly in this wavelength band. From these points, when two living body transmitted light images are captured by irradiating light having the same intensity and different wavelengths, two images having different grayscale values in a blood-rich portion (that is, a portion where blood vessels are running) are obtained. Is obtained. Therefore, from the difference image of these two images, a part with a blood vessel running is obtained with emphasis.

Further, the scattering characteristic of the living body with respect to light of 600 to 1000 nm is extremely high, and the information absorbed by the blood in the deep part of the body is diffused. It shows running. Human blood vessels have a vein on the surface of a living body and an artery deep in the body, so that the extracted vascular system is a venous system. The blood of the venous system contains a large amount of reduced hemoglobin, and in order to capture a blood vessel image of two living body transmission images with high contrast, from the wavelength characteristics in FIG.
For example, as shown in FIG.
The medium light filters 6 and 7 may be selected.

An arbitrary threshold value is provided for this blood vessel running gray image, and a blood vessel running binary image is obtained in step 4-1. On the other hand, one of the transmission images of the center wavelength λ1 or λ2 is used, and a binarization process is performed using an arbitrary threshold to obtain an outer shape of a part where the blood vessel is running (step 4-2). The acquired blood vessel running binary image and the external shape binary image are fused in step 5.
