Abstract
A system and method are provided that capture an image of an asset and analyze the captured image to identify an indicium on the asset. The indicium is used, after identification, to identify the asset. The system may also be configured to identify a type of asset, to track the asset, to verify a manifest for a group of assets, or to identify damage to an asset based on comparing the captured image of the asset with a previously captured image of the asset.
