1. A method for tagging and identifying an object, comprising:
applying a combination of particles onto and/or in the object, each particle having at least one of a measurable shape, location, size, or spectrum, wherein the particles are obtained via artificial self-assembly or natural self-assembly, obtaining one or more images of said particles and/or their combinations, measuring a first tagging characteristic of each particle, the first tagging characteristic comprising particle shapes, measuring a second tagging characteristic of each particle, the second tagging characteristic comprising particle sizes, measuring a third tagging characteristic, the third tagging characteristic comprising each particle's mutual position with relation to each other particle, measuring a fourth tagging characteristic of each particle, the fourth tagging characteristic comprising particle spectra, and identifying the object when either all four tagging characteristics or combinations thereof are within an expected range. |
