Abstract : Man and woman distinction is necessary to make security stronger and when various statistics on the visitor are taken in commercial facilities and so on. The conventional method of man and woman distinction is currently determined by using the person's appearance, the person's dress and in such cases, the way of walking, the foot pressure, the hair type.�@But, these characteristics can be intentionally changed by human intervention or design. The proposed method gets a difference in the man's and woman's characteristics by taking images of the heat distribution of the person's face by thermography. This is a man and woman distinction based on the new concept idea which this is used for. Consequently, this can be used to distinguish a man from a woman even if a man turns himself into the woman intentionally (and vice versa), because this method involves biometrics authentication.
