US Patent 7526106 Method of tracking images captured with a digital camera

A method of tracking images captured by a digital camera includes inputting a profile marker to a profile information database in the digital camera, establishing a profile ratio for captured images. The profile ratio sets a number of captured images required to contain the profile marker. The method further requires scanning with a tracking system captured images stored a memory for the profile marker, and providing one of a visual alarm and an audible alarm indicating that the number of captured images containing the profile marker is less than the profile ratio.
