I feel it should be very feasible as with a good vectorization tool
you can actually get a good output as you see here:

And to gurantee genuineness and facilitate fully automated
validation (which drives down the prices of the certificates) the
passport picture can be extracted from a MTRD or a "national ID
card" ('passport in credit card format') and then if a good
normalization algoritm and vectorization algorim is applied to
convert the passport picture to the SVG, then the CA can be sure
that the picture is correct without having to visually compare the
face pictures with each other.
How long would I need to borrow a machine readable travel document for
in order to get a personal certificate with someone's face on it ?
Which makes fully automated validation a possibility with a mobile
app, NFC and a MRTD.
Sorry, are you automating the issuing of a personal certificate, or
using it to verify that the person in front of you is the certificate
holder (or the passport-holder) ?
When I last used my passport for online my phone looked at me and my
passport under multiple lighting conditions. Unless the CA does the
same, I fear a reduction in security.
The algoritm has to however, be able to automatically add
optimizations to the color profile to ensure the resultant SVG is
below 32 kB.

Ämne: Re: [mailop] VMC/BIMI - Getting a personal VMC certificate?
And separately, I'll put this on the wish list of stuff that I'll
bring up in discussions with others in the BIMI Group. I love the idea
of a "personal mark certificate," though I don't know how feasible it
is. I'm in the same boat as you, in that I'm not really a company, but
I'd love to implement BIMI as broadly as possible.
Cheers,
