Abstract
A method assists in locating objects using their images. One or more processors receive a set of one or more machine readable reference images of an object, and then distribute the set of one or more machine readable reference images to a plurality of computing devices, where each computing device from the plurality of computing devices is capable of capturing an image. Each computing device from the plurality of computing devices captures a set of one or more images. For each set of one or more images in each computing device from the plurality of computing devices, machine logic within each computing device determines whether each set of one or more images includes an image portion corresponding to the object.
