System and method for identifying an object with captured images
First Claim
1. A method for identifying objects with captured images, the method comprising the steps of:
- actuating a controller configured to cause an image capture device to operate in a property identification (ID) mode;
capturing an image of an object, thereby generating an object image when the image capture device is operating in the property ID mode; and
capturing at least one high-resolution image of a unique feature of the object, thereby generating at least one identification (ID) image when the image capture device is operating in the property ID mode.

Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for identifying objects with captured images. One embodiment of the present invention is a method comprising the steps of actuating a controller configured to cause an image capture device to operate in a property identification (ID) mode; capturing an image of an object, thereby generating an object image when the image capture device is operating in the property ID mode; and capturing at least one high-resolution image of a unique feature of the object, thereby generating at least one identification (ID) image when the image capture device is operating in the property ID mode.

10. A method for identifying objects with captured images processed by a processing device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
executing a property identification logic such that the processing device is operating in a property identification (ID) mode;
receiving an image of an object from a memory;
generating an object image from the received image of the object when the processing device is operating in a property ID mode;
receiving at least one high-resolution image of a unique feature of the object from the memory;
generating an ID image from the received at least one high-resolution image of the unique feature of the object when the processing device is operating in the property ID mode; and
generating an object group by associating the object image and at least one selected ID image when the processing device is operating in the property ID mode. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17)

13. The method of 12, further comprising the steps of:
-
receiving the image of the object and the at least one high-resolution image of the unique feature from an image capture device; and
storing the image of the object and the at least one high-resolution image of the unique feature in the internal memory.

18. A system which identifies objects with captured images, comprising:
-
a controller configured to cause an image capture device to operate in a property identification (ID) mode when the controller is actuated;
a photosensor residing in the image capture device and configured to capture an image of an object and at least one high-resolution image of a unique feature of the object; and
a memory configured to receive the captured image of the object, thereby generating an object image, and further configured to receive the at least one high-resolution image of a unique feature of the object, thereby generating at least one ID image, when the image capture device is operating in the property ID mode. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A processing system which identifies objects with captured images, comprising:
-
an interface configured to interface with an image capture device memory such that an image of an object and at least one high-resolution image of a unique feature of the object is received from the image capture device;
a processor configured to generate an object image from the received object image, configured to generate an ID image from the received at least one high-resolution image, and further configured to associate the object image and the at least one ID image, thereby generating an object group such that the object group has a plurality of associated images that identify the object; and
a memory configured to store at least the object group. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
