Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image pickup device includes an image acquiring unit, calculating unit, memory controlling unit, first judging unit and notification unit. The calculating unit calculates a degree of similarity between information of a specific subject contained in the image acquired by the acquiring unit and identification information of the specific subject registered in a registering unit. The memory controlling unit controls a memory unit to store the calculated degree of similarity such that the degree of similarity is associated with date/time information. The first judging unit judges whether the calculated degree of similarity is relatively low compared with predetermined number of other degrees of similarity based on a chronological change of the degrees of similarity. The notification unit notifies that the identification information registered in the registering unit is to be renewed when judged, by the first judging unit, that the calculated degree of similarity is relatively low.
