liveness detection, verification of ICAO compliance of
portraits, morphing attack detection, biometric template
protection, among other areas. The tasks can include the
development of modules for face image manipulation or of
specific objects, programming convolutional neural
networks for face recognition and mobile apps for the
demonstration of the results of the project. This project
results from the integration of the ISR-UC in the
Innovation Network of the INCM and aims at manipulating of
photos of faces for identity and travel security documents
as the Citizen Card, Passports and others. The tasks

for generating, reading and decoding machine-readable
codes, namely the UniQode code, recently developed in
collaboration with INCM, QRCode, DataMatrix, and other
typically two-dimensional codes. It is intended to develop
algorithms to standardize the creation, but especially
with a focus on detection, rectification, reconstruction
