1. A system comprising a server adapted to be connected to a mobile application running on a mobile device for receiving an image captured by the mobile device and a user or mobile device location, the server being further adapted to be connected to an objects database comprising objects related images and objects related information, the server being further adapted to implement an object identification process comprising the steps of:
searching in the objects database and compiling a list of possible objects as a function of the location of the user or mobile device, where the possible objects are those located within a given geographical zone from the location of the user or mobile device; comparing the captured image to the possible objects for determining if there is a match with any one of these possible objects; if a match is found between the captured image and one of the possible objects, determining the identity of the object associated with the captured image.
