Abstract

The methods of constructing compact multimedia files based on a color image of a face, biometric data and documentary information about the person to whom this face belongs are considered. The essence of the proposed method consists in generating a color QR code based on facial characteristics and embedding the code into the face image. The formation of a color QR code is performed by replacing three slices of the Least Significant Bit of the original image. Mathematical descriptions, pseudocodes and graphic illustrations are presented to understand the idea of the method, the proposed solutions, and the algorithm implementing the method of embedding a color QR code in a face image. The developed new method of embedding color QR codes in face images is implemented programmatically and is the basis for the formation of multimedia files. The method can be recommended for the tasks of facial biometrics and its applications.
