Claim One:
1. A method for identifying an object comprising the steps of: acquiring an image of the object; identifying flaws present on or in the object; associating each of the identified flaws with a location in the image of the object; determining a quality score indicating a condition of the object based at least upon an analysis of the identified flaws; generating a first identifier associated with the object; attaching a first tag to the object, the first tag including a second identifier associated with the first tag; attaching a second tag to the object, a first portion of the second tag overlapping the first tag when viewed from a direction normal to a surface of the object, and a second portion of the second tag, which is different than the first portion, not overlapping the first tag when viewed from the direction; generating a data record including the first identifier, the second identifier, the image of the object, indications of the identified flaws, indications of the locations of the identified flaws in the image of the object, and the quality score; and storing the data record in a processor-accessible memory device system, wherein at least the generating steps are performed at least in part by a data processing device system.
