What is tattoo recognition?

Tattoo recognition is an innovative technology designed to help law enforcement identify suspects when facial or fingerprint images aren’t available or to serve as a secondary biometric that complements the fingerprint or facial modalities. By analyzing unique features present in tattoos, it offers a more precise identification method than broader traits such as race, sex, or age. These unique markings tell a story, providing critical insights into the potential identification of victims and suspects, and presenting possible indicators related to personal information, beliefs, or gang affiliations. This modality enhances investigative capabilities and strengthens law enforcement resources, making it invaluable in solving cases and ensuring public safety.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
L
What is a Tattoo Recognition SDK?
K
L

Tattoo Recognition SDK is a software development kit that enables integration of advanced tattoo recognition software into applications, providing powerful tools for law enforcement, intelligence, and other industries.

How does tattoo detection and recognition technology work?
K
L

Tattoo detection and recognition technology works by using image processing algorithms that analyze the features of a tattoo, such as its color, size, and shape. The technology then matches these features with a database of known tattoos to identify the tattoo's meaning, origin, or potential associations.

What can tattoos recognition & identification software be used for?
K
L
Tattoo detection and recognition technology has a wide range of applications, including forensic investigations, identifying criminal organizations or affiliations, identifying victims of trafficking, and assisting in medical procedures.
How can a Tattoo Recognition SDK be used by law enforcement agencies?
K
L
Law enforcement agencies can use the SDK to accurately detect, localize, and represent tattoos for identifying suspects, victims, or witnesses through their tattoos when other forms of identification are unavailable. By analyzing tattoos present on a victim or suspect, law enforcement agencies can potentially identify important information such as gang affiliations, criminal activity, or human trafficking networks. However, it is important to ensure that tattoo data is collected and used in accordance with legal and ethical standards, such as obtaining a warrant before collecting tattoo data or limiting the use of tattoo data to specific investigations.
How does the ROC SDK tattoo recognition algorithm work?
K
L
The algorithm uses a compact feature vector representation to accurately detect, localize, and represent tattoo images, ensuring high accuracy and efficiency in identifying tattoos.
What is the true acceptance rate of the tattoo recognition algorithm?
K
L
The tattoo recognition algorithm achieves a true acceptance rate of 95.1% at a false accept rate of 0.0100%.
Can the tattoo recognition software identify tattoo locations on the body?
K
L
Yes, the software can accurately detect and localize tattoos, providing precise information about the tattoo's location on the body.
Is the tattoo recognition software compatible with other biometric and computer vision capabilities?
K
L

Yes, the software can be seamlessly integrated with any and all of ROC.ai's multimodal biometric and computer vision capabilities.

How does the tattoo recognition algorithm perform in a 1:1 comparison accuracy evaluation?
K
L

The algorithm achieves robust performance, allowing for easy generalization to the true 1:N use-case.

Can ROC tattoo recognition software help identify deceased victims?
K
L

Yes, the software is used by law enforcement agencies to identify deceased victims through their tattoos when little other information is available for identification.

Is the Tattoo Recognition SDK easy to integrate into existing applications?
K
L

Yes, the SDK is designed for easy integration into various applications, providing powerful tools for users.

What makes the ROC Tattoo Recognition SDK better than other solutions?
K
L

Our tattoo recognition SDK includes key features like fast and accurate biometric matching results, seamless software integration, compact feature vector representation, accurate detection and localization of tattoos, and recognition capabilities for difficult cases.

How does the tattoo recognition algorithm compare to NIST Tatt-E results?
K
L

When measured at a False Accept Rate of 0.001%, the ROC algorithm achieves a True Accept Rate of 90.8%, outperforming the industry-leading solution (72.1%) by a wide margin.
