 Improvement in quality of photograph in H2H Survey
The Commission has directed to prepare EPICs using digital photographs which will be stored
in the elector database only. The digital photographs should be stored in JPEG format in
binary form in the elector table, using 320x240 pixels (standard e-mail mode of Digital
Cameras) in Colour Portrait mode. The photograph should be of size 3.2 cm (vertical) x 2.4 cm
(horizontal) and of resolution 320x240 pixel. The photograph shall show a close-up of the
applicant’s head and the top of the shoulders. The face shall take 75% of the vertical
dimension of the picture. The photograph shall be in sharp focus, of high quality with no
creases and ink marks with 18 appropriate brightness and contrast and showing natural skin
tones of the elector’s face and features clearly recognizable. It shall show the elector looking
directly at the camera with a neutral expression and the mouth closed. The photograph shall
be showing the elector with the eyes open and clearly visible with no
air/cap/hat/headgear/veil/cover/shadow/reflection etc.
obscuring the eyes. If the elector wears glasses, the photograph must show the eyes clearly
with no lights reflected in the glasses. The glasses should not have tinted lenses and it shall be
ensured that the frames of the glasses do not cover any part of the eyes of the elector. The
photograph must have a plain, light coloured background and there must be no other people
or object visible with the elector. Since the contrast visible on-screen is usually higher than in
a printed form, before each session of photography, a test photograph should be taken and
printed. The lighting conditions should be changed in order to meet the above requirements.
Where necessary, the location of taking the photograph should be moved closer to a window
or source of natural light or artificial lighting used.
The print on the photograph on the EPIC should be of size 3.2 cm (vertical) by 2.4 cm
(horizontal). While a variation in size of plus or minus 10 % will be permissible, the relative
proportions (aspect ratio) of the photograph should not be changed under any circumstances.
It is necessary that the photographs of electors in the specified digital format must be
mentioned as one of the deliverables in contracts whenever photography or EPIC contracts
are awarded either directly or through an intermediate agency to SLA, vendor or sub-vendor.
All efforts should be made to replace the images which are black & white, blurred and poor
quality and not as per the prescribed specification.
The illustrations on portrait quality have been given for taking of photograph
