Tatt-BP provides best practice recommendations and guidelines for the proper collection of tattoo images to support image-based tattoo recognition.  Based on the outcomes of the Tattoo Recognition Technology – Challenge (Tatt-C), tattoo recognition algorithm accuracy is often influenced by the consistency and quality of the tattoo images.

Included in the Tatt-BP publication package are 1) a poster 2) a final report, and 3) a collection of instructional slides.

The Tatt-BP materials may be printed and distributed.
