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. The method of 1, 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.

15. 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 the 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 (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
