Introduction:
One of the ways to detect a fraud document is to check whether the photo on the document is the same photo as in the chip. A user can take a picture of their passport or ID card with their smartphone. Via Innovalor’s app ReadID, the smartphone of the user can also read the pictures in the chip. A comparison with the two photos can give an extra indication whether it is a fake document, including possible morphing attacks. A challenge is that the picture on the passport may be of poor quality, e.g., glare, which should not result in (too many) false warnings.
This assignment will be done in collaboration with Innovalor.
Assignment:
- Use pattern recognition to recognize and retrieve a good-enough quality photo from the picture/video frames of the document.
- Select a comparison algorithm for two photos, where one is a reasonably good quality photo (from the chip) and another is a lower quality photo.
- Evaluate the methods in terms of false match rate and false none match rate.
- Define minimum requirements on the camera of the smartphone to capture a picture or a video of the document. The new EU enrolment guidelines for Face & Fingerprint (from Feb 27 2019) specify the minimum requirements for the quality. It is interesting to compare whether the requirements from the EU regulation is good enough to provide a decent matching.
