Claim One:
1. A process for object identification comprising: extracting object shape features and object color features from digital images of an initial object and storing the extracted object shape features and object color features in a database where said extracted object shape features and object color features are associated with a unique identifier associated with said object; repeating the first step for a plurality of different objects; extracting object shape features and object color features from a digital image of an object whose identity is being sought; correlating the extracted object shape features and object color features of the object whose identity is being sought with the extracted object shape features and object color features previously stored in said database and (i) if a first correlation of the extracted object shape features is better than a first threshold value for a given object associated with an identifier in said database and (ii) if a second correlation of the extracted object color features is better than a second threshold value for said given object; then making a determination that the object whose identity is being sough is said given object.
