For machine vision, it would be a silver bullet to identify an object without any imprint like a bar code or data code, but only by sight. Now, this technology becomes reality with so called sample-based identification (SBI) as a unique software feature.
This technology can identify trained objects only based on characteristic features like color or texture, thereby eliminating the need to use special imprints like bar codes or data codes for object identification purposes. It is capable of differentiating thousands of objects. This even works with warped objects or varying perspective views of the object. It is also possible to learn a 3-D object from any side by using samples showing all relevant views.
