  • Patent number: 11948119
    Abstract: Systems and methods for lost asset management using photo-matching are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing a lost asset image corresponding to a lost asset, and generating, by a feature extractor model, a lost asset descriptor that represents features of the lost asset image. The example method also includes storing the lost asset descriptor and the lost asset image in an asset database that includes known asset descriptors, and performing, by a visual search engine, a nearest neighbor search within the asset database to determine a respective metric distance between the lost asset descriptor and the known asset descriptors. The example method also includes determining, by the visual search engine, a ranked list of known assets corresponding to the lost asset, and displaying, at a user interface, the ranked list of known assets for viewing by a user.
