ABSTRACT:
An image determination apparatus is provided which obtains a first image which is picked up by illuminating the subject of image pickup from a first position and a second image which is picked up by illuminating the subject of image pickup from a second position. The image determination apparatus determines whether or not the subject of image pickup is a living body from a change in shading on the first picked up image and the second picked up image. Further, an individual authentication apparatus that includes an image pickup unit and a control unit determines whether a subject is a living body from a change in shading on a first picked up image and a second picked up image. If the subject is a living body, an authentication function is initiated using a third picked up image, the authentication function determining whether or not to authorize the subject.
