Person Digital Image

Source of Definition: MVA

Source of Data: MVA

A photograph or image of a person in a digital format.

Usage Note: There is no single rule for the photo, individual applications, standards and practices specify their own requirements. Requirements should be specified for:

• Pose. It is recommended that the photo should depict the face of the person in a full-face frontal pose with both eyes visible. This pose is ideal for facial recognition software processing.
• Color. A true color representation of the person's face is recommended for the electronic photo data. (This data can then be used to print a color photo or a monochrome laser engraving).
• Electronic data size. The individual users may specify a maximum and/or minimum number of bytes used for the electronic data. The data size requirement will need to be sufficient to support any requirements on the dimensions of the printed picture, and/or for facial recognition. (Driver License Photos are usually in to 20 kb to 120 kb range). For electronic exchanges, AAMVA can support image data up to 10 mb for the image when encoded in Base64.
• Electronic file format. JPEG is the recommended format for holding the image electronically (JPEG is the most commonly used format). However other formats may be specified for individual uses if all parties agree.
• Electronic exchange format. The specifications for individual applications will specify the format used to exchange images between parties. This is often dictated by constraints in the exchange protocol (e.g. binary data (as used in a JPEG file) is not directly supported in web-services so the image file has to be encoded in a format like Base 64).
