TECH5 USA will exhibit at IAI 2026, Booth #613, showcasing its biometric and forensic identification technologies for law enforcement. Demonstrations will include solutions for fingerprint, facial recognition, palm print, and other modalities, as well as investigative lead-generation platforms.
Presentation abstract:
As surveillance cameras become increasingly prevalent, investigators are encountering cases in which tattoos — not faces — are the most useful identifying features captured in imagery. This session explores how tattoo recognition technology can generate investigative leads when traditional biometric evidence, such as facial imagery, fingerprints, or DNA, is unavailable or unusable.
Drawing on real-world investigative examples, the presentation will cover:
– The evidentiary value of tattoos in criminal investigations
– Challenges in identifying individuals from tattoo imagery
– How AI-powered tattoo recognition technology works
– Best practices for extracting tattoo evidence from surveillance footage
– Methods for generating investigative leads from tattoo matches
– Legal, ethical, and operational considerations
– Tattoo recognition as a complementary tool alongside traditional biometrics
This session is designed for investigators, forensic examiners, crime analysts, and law enforcement personnel interested in emerging forensic identification techniques.
Dates: August 16-20, 2026
Venue: America's Center Convention Complex, Room 220/229 (BIT Track), St. Louis, Missouri
