摘要:
There is provided a system for tracking the communication of image data files across an Internet computer network including in ways that addresses or at least substantially ameliorates potential image manipulation by differing web servers. The system comprises a tracking server in operable communication with the plurality of electronic devices across the Internet computer network which receives image data files comprising image data and associated image meta data taken by image sensors of electronic devices. The tracking server generates an image identifier using the image data file which, in embodiments, comprises one or more of meta data analysis, image processing including digital watermarking, image identifier signature generation and object recognition. The electronic device then communicates the image data file to at least one web server across the Internet computer network for hosting. The tracking server is then configured for requesting a resource served by the at least one web server and identifying the image identifier from the resource so as to be able to track the communication of the image data file accordingly.
