1. A method for creating an identification for an object, comprising:
acquiring image data of an object in multiple electromagnetic (EM) spectrums along a coordinated array of sample regions of the object;
analyzing the acquired image data to produce a quantitative data set that represents specific characteristics of the object associated with the multiple EM spectrums for each sample region;
creating a digital fingerprint that includes the quantitative data set, wherein the digital fingerprint solely corresponds to the object;
generating an identification corresponding to the digital fingerprint, wherein the identification includes an alphanumeric string that is displayable as text, graphic, or audio to identify the object; and
storing the digital fingerprint and corresponding identification.
