What is ObjectLink?
ObjectLink turns any physical structure — a food truck, shopfront, building, or vehicle — into its own scannable identifier. No QR code needed. The structure itself becomes the code.
Upload photos of your structure
Front, side, rear, close-up of signage — the more angles the better
✓ Visual fingerprint stored
✓ Ready for scanning
Point. Shoot. Identify.
Upload a photo of any registered structure. ObjectLink finds keypoints (signage, edges, shapes) and matches the specific object by geometric verification — then takes you straight to their website.

Every structure has a unique visual fingerprint
Just like a fingerprint identifies a person, a physical structure — its shape, colours, signage, proportions and textures — creates a unique visual signature. ObjectLink captures and registers that signature, then matches it when someone photographs the structure.
Business registers their structure
Upload 3–6 photos from different angles. ObjectLink extracts visual features — colours, edges, text, shapes — and creates a unique hash fingerprint stored in the registry.
Anyone photographs the structure
A tourist walks past the food truck. They open their camera, take a photo. No QR code. No sign. No app download. Just a photo.
ObjectLink matches the fingerprint
The photo is sent to ObjectLink. Visual features are extracted and compared against the registry. A match score is returned within seconds.
User is taken straight to the business
Match found. The business name, location and website appear instantly. One tap opens the menu, booking page or contact — no searching, no typing.
Why this is new
QR codes require printing. Google Lens requires the business to be indexed. ObjectLink is the first system purpose-built to register any physical structure as its own scannable identifier — independent of a printed code, a Google listing, or a social media presence.
