A system and method are provided for sensing an image of an object and an optical
code associated with the object and generating respective object image data and
optical code image data. A database stores a plurality of digital codes and an
object image data entry associated with each respective digital code of the plurality
of digital codes. A processing unit generates at least one digital code; accesses
at least one object image data entry associated with at least one respective stored
digital code that substantially matches the respective at least one generated digital
code; and compares the object image data with the at least one accessed object
image data entry and determines if the comparison results are within a predetermined
image recognition certainty threshold.
