It was only a matter of time before government technology caught up with Hollywood’s version of identifying suspects’ tattoos based on computer algorithms.

The National Institute for Standards and Technology hosted a tattoo recognition technology challenge workshop earlier this week asking scientists and engineers to come up with better ways to automate tattoo recognition to identify criminals and victims in a faster, more comprehensive way.
