1. A method for managing assets associated with a platform, said method comprising:
- receiving an optical image of an asset associated with the platform;
comparing, using an optical recognition program, the optical image of the asset to images of assets within a library of asset images to identify the asset;
assigning a location for the identified asset; and
updating a database, including one or more of an asset inventory and a platform configuration, based on the identification and location of the asset.

Abstract
A method for managing assets associated with a platform is described. The method includes receiving an optical image of an asset associated with the platform, comparing, using an optical recognition program, the optical image of the asset to images of assets within a library of asset images to identify the asset, assigning a location for the identified asset, and updating a database, including one or more of an asset inventory and a platform configuration, based on the identification and location of the asset.

11. A system for identifying and location tracking of rotable assets associated with one or more platforms, said system comprising:
-
an image acquisition device operable for generating data representative of an optical image of a rotable asset; a database, said database comprising data representative of three-dimensional drawings for a plurality of rotable assets; and at least one processing device programmed to associate the data representative of an optical image of a rotable asset with data representative of three-dimensional drawings for one of the plurality of rotable assets to identify the rotable asset whose image was acquired. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for identifying a rotable asset, said method comprising:
-
acquiring an optical image of the asset; storing the optical image in a computer memory as data representative of the acquired optical image; and comparing, using an optical recognition program, the data representative of the acquired optical image to data representative of a library of asset images to identify the asset. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
