Abstract: A data acquiring apparatus includes: an acquirer that acquires feature data, as registration data, from an image including an object to be registered, the feature data representing a feature that is distributed in a region of a predetermined size determined based on a position defined by an external shape of the object and a position of printing information that has been printed on the object; and a memory that stores the registration data acquired by the acquirer as data for determining identity of the object.

Abstract: An identification system includes a first imaging apparatus that captures a first image including an object to be identified, a second imaging apparatus that captures a second image finer than the first image and including an object to be identified, and an identification apparatus that identifies an object by use of the first image and the second image. The identification apparatus includes an acquirer and a storage controller. The acquirer acquires first identification data and second identification data. The first identification data is feature data acquired from the first image and representing a feature distributed on a surface of the object. The second identification data is feature data acquired from the second image and representing a feature distributed on a surface of the object. The storage controller causes the first identification data and the second identification data acquired by the acquirer to be stored in association with each other.
