Claim 17:
18. A method of identifying and tracking targets, comprising:
capturing, in real-time via a plurality of collection systems, one or more visual identifiers of a plurality of targets in conjunction with one or more electronic signatures of a plurality of electronic devices each associated with a person;
wherein each of the plurality of collection systems includes one or more of a camera adapted to capture visual identifiers or sensors configured to capture electronic signatures, and wherein each of the plurality of collection systems is positioned within a defined geographical area at locations proximate one or more of areas accessible to vehicles or areas inaccessible to vehicles;
identifying at least some of the plurality of targets by one or more of the electronic signatures;
correlating at least a portion of the visual identifiers and electronic signatures based on (a) a frequency of capture of the plurality of visual identifiers and the one or more electronic signatures and (b) a selected proximity of capture between the plurality of visual identifiers and the one or more electronic signatures,
determining a relationship between (a) each of the plurality of targets identified by at least one or more of the plurality of electronic devices identified and (b) one or more of real-time captures of the visual identifiers and electronic signatures;
identifying, via an intelligence system, one or more targets of interest based the associations between one or more of the plurality of targets and one or more of the plurality of electronic devices; and
tracking, via the intelligence system, the one or more targets of interest based on a plurality of real-time updated captures associated with the one or more targets of interest.
