Biometrics authentication system registration method, biometrics authentication system, and program for same

A registration method for a biometrics authentication system for performing individual authentication by detecting and registering characteristic data of the palm of a hand of a body for future use, detecting characteristic data from the palm of the hand of said body and verifying the detected characteristic data against said registered characteristic data, the method comprising the steps of:

• obtaining an image of the palm of the hand of a body from an image capture unit which captures images of the palm of said hand;
• extracting outlines of the image of the palm of said hand, and judging, from said outlines, whether said image capture has been successful;
• extracting the characteristic data from an image of the palm of the hand capture of which has been successful;
• judging the degree of similarity among a plurality of said characteristic data sets extracted from a plurality of said captured images;
• and
• registering a plurality of characteristic data sets with a high degree of similarity in a storage unit.

A program, which causes a computer to execute the steps of:

• obtaining an image of the palm of the hand of a body from an image capture unit which captures images of the palm of the hand;
• extracting outlines of the image of the palm of said hand, and judging, from said outlines, whether said image capture has been successful;
• extracting characteristic data from an image of the palm of the hand capture of which has been successful;
• judging the degree of similarity among a plurality of said characteristic data sets extracted from a plurality of said captured images;
