1. A system comprising:
an imaging device configured to generate image data depicting one or more mobile assets that move through a designated area; and
one or more processors configured to analyze the image data to detect one or more non-alphanumeric graphic identifiers of a particular mobile asset of the one or more mobile assets, each of the one or more non-alphanumeric graphic identifiers representing a feature that differentiates the particular mobile asset from at least some other mobile assets that move through the designated area without individually uniquely identifying the particular mobile asset, the one or more processors configured to compare the one or more non-alphanumeric graphic identifiers of the particular mobile asset that are detected to information in an inventory database associated with each of multiple identified assets to positively identify the particular mobile asset as a first identified asset of the multiple identified assets based on a level of match between the one or more non-alphanumeric graphic identifiers and the information in the inventory database associated with the first identified asset.
