1. An object recognition trait identification system comprising: a computerized scene trait database storing a plurality of scene traits having values representative of a scene, the scene traits existing within an scene attribute space; and a trait analysis engine coupled to the scene trait database and configured to: derive a plurality of features by applying a recognition algorithm a digital representation of an object in a scene, the plurality of features existing in a feature space; generate trait variances in the scene attribute space for similar features within the at least one similarity feature set and with respect to the scene traits; select at least one distinguishing scene trait from the scene traits as a function of the trait variances where the at least one distinguishing scene trait differentiates features within the at least one similarity feature set; and store each feature in the similarity feature set in an object recognition database along with metadata that includes the at least one distinguishing scene trait.
