Claim 0:
1. A computer implemented method for use in identifying a particular object or information about the object, by using 3D image data, the computer implemented method comprising:
acquiring at least one 3D scan of an object to be identified, wherein the 3D scans comprise 2D pictures used to create a 3D scan of said object to be identified;
reconstructing, from the at least one 3D scan, a 3D reconstruction of the object or a point cloud;
transforming the 3D reconstruction into a plurality of descriptors;
storing the plurality of descriptors in a database;
creating profiles comprising the plurality of descriptors in the database;
performing a candidate match search in a database based on the profiles;
filtering nonmatching profiles out of the search results;
generating a list of candidate matches based on matching profiles, wherein the list of candidate matches comprises zero or more matches; and
using the filters to interactively filter the profiles in the database by inputting parameters for physical attributes of a particular object not readily identifiable, wherein the physical attributes comprise textual descriptions or geometric descriptors.
