Abstract
A method for optically recognizing at least one target discrete entity from a plurality of discrete entities includes acquiring a first optical read-out of a marker of a first discrete entity that defines the target discrete entity, generating a first set of representations of the marker of the first discrete entity based on the first optical read-out, associating the first set of representations with the target discrete entity, acquiring a second optical read-out of a marker of at least one discrete entity from the plurality of discrete entities, generating a second set of representations of the marker of the at least one discrete entity based on the second optical read-out, comparing the second set of representations to the first set of representations, and recognizing the at least one discrete entity as the target discrete entity upon determining that the second set of representations matches the first set of representations.
