1. A method for generating and utilizing a digital signature to identify an object of interest, the method comprising:
providing a reference image depicting the object of interest to a signature encoding module comprising a hypernetwork, wherein an indication of the object of interest within the reference image is also provided;
generating, with the signature encoding module, the digital signature representing the object of interest, wherein the digital signature generated by the signature encoding module comprising the hypernetwork also comprises one or more parameters configured to at least partially define processing to be performed by another neural network;
providing (i) the digital signature representing the object of interest and the one or more parameters and (ii) at least one query image to a query processing module comprising a neural network; and
identifying, by the query processing module, the object of interest within the at least one query image based upon the digital signature of the object of interest, wherein identifying the object of interest comprises processing the at least one query image with the neural network of the query processing module with the processing being at least partially defined by the one or more parameters generated by the signature encoding module comprising the hypernetwork.
