Optimizing Image Preparation and Compression for Face Recognition within 1024 Bytes
ICAO-compliant machine readable travel documents enable automated biometric face verification. The biometric reference is stored on an RFID chip included in form of a JPEG or JPEG 2000 compressed facial image. In contrast, temporary travel documents lack of machine readability, which excludes the owner from such automated processes. This disadvantage could be solved by equipping such documents with 2D barcodes. This technology offers a resource-saving alternative to expensive RFID chips, while still offering machine readability and fast issuing processes. However, this solution introduces the challenge of storing the face images at significantly smaller storage capacities, creating the ne...
