Claim:
1. A computer implemented method for identifying an object in a route, the method comprising: capturing, by an image capture device, a first set of images during a first traversal of a first route; capturing, by the image capture device, a second set of images during a second traversal of the first route; identifying, by an image analysis module configured to compare the first set of images with the second set of images, an object in the second set of images meeting an obstruction criteria; and providing a notification of the object which was identified as meeting the obstruction criteria; wherein capturing the first set of images during the first traversal of the first route includes: collecting route frequency data for a set of routes traversed by a user; determining, for a specific route of the set of routes traversed by the user, that a frequency value is greater than a frequency threshold value; selecting, in response to determining that the specific route has the frequency value greater than the frequency threshold value, the route as the first route.
