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.
