MorphoTrak Acquires Tattoo Matching Technology

MorphoTrak has announced the acquisition of a tattoo matching technology from Michigan State University.  The technology will enable corrections and law enforcement to accurately and efficiently search tattoo state databases to identify suspects, criminals and victims.  The image retrieval and matching technology uses color, shape, and texture present in tattoo images instead of labels or keywords for the computation of image similarity.

Tattoo searches today involve matching text description of the tattoo resulting in a slow and inaccurate process.  Agencies now have the capability to fully exploit large repositories of tattoo images with the new technology for the identification of suspects and victims.  Tattoos are often important for criminal identification since they sometimes contain clues about the suspect’s background and history.

 

MorphoTrak, Inc., a subsidiary of Safran USA, provides biometric and identity management solutions to the U.S. and Canadian markets. Formed in April 2009 from the merger of Sagem Morpho Inc. and Motorola's biometric division, Printrak, MorphoTrak’s markets include law enforcement, border control, civil identification, facility/IT security and access control. MorphoTrak and its global parent Sagem Sécurité - part of the Safran group - are leading innovators in large fingerprint identification systems, facial and iris recognition, as well as identification licenses. MorphoTrak employs over 450 persons in the U.S., with headquarters near Washington D.C., major corporate facilities in Anaheim, CA and Tacoma, WA, and regional facilities throughout the U.S.
