Abstract
A method is provided in which a tag is affixed to a known individual that is to be identified within a known field of view of an image capture system. The tag is a physical tag comprising at least a known feature. Subsequent to affixing the tag to the known individual, image data is captured within the known field of view of the image capture system, which is then provided to a processor. Image analysis is performed on the captured image data to detect the at least a known feature. In dependence upon detecting the at least a known feature, an occurrence of the known individual within the captured image data is identified.
