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 a scene attribute space; a trait analysis engine coupled to the scene trait database comprising: an object recognition processor comprising circuitry configured by executable instruction code to accept at least a portion of a digital representation as input and derive a plurality of features by applying a recognition algorithm to the digital representation of an object in a scene, the plurality of features existing in a feature space; a feature set analyzer comprising circuitry configured by executable instruction code to generate trait variances with respect to the scene traits in the scene attribute space for features within at least one similarity feature set, wherein a feature corresponds to at least one scene trait; and a trait variance analyzer compromising circuitry configured by executable instruction code to 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 an object recognition database coupled to the trait analysis engine and storing each feature in the similarity feature set along with metadata that includes the at least one distinguishing scene trait.
