Abstract
Methods for identifying and tracking an article are disclosed. During a journey, an article follows a path between an origin and a destination. An image of the article is captured during the journey and a first characteristic vector determined from the image of the article. The first characteristic vector is compared with a set of predetermined characteristic vectors and, based on the comparison, the first article is either associated with an identifier associated with a corresponding one of the predetermined characteristic vectors, or is associated with a new identifier.
