Abstract
One or more processors receive data from one or more devices including an image of an individual and information that indicates the identity of the individual. One or both of the image and the information include data that indicates a location. One or more processors analyze the image of an individual and the information to generate a set of identifying characteristics for the individual. Based on a result of the analysis, one or more processors determine whether the set of identifying characteristics of the individual matches a recorded set of identifying characteristics of that individual within a threshold. In response to a determination that there is a match within the threshold, one or more processors associate the location with the individual.
