Project Inspiration:

    I got the idea for this project from a previous experiment using VB6 (Visual Basic 6) to identify multiple objects in an image     (effectively the multiple object recognition module of this project). I was unsuccessful with that attempt so for this project I decided do do an extension on that, adding recognition. Having that previous knowledge proved to be invaluable.
