There is provided an appearance search system comprising one or more cameras configured to capture video of a scene, the video having images of objects. The system comprises one or more processors and memory comprising computer program code stored on the memory and configured when executed by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform a method. The method comprises identifying one or more of the objects within the images of the objects. The method further comprises implementing a learning machine configured to generate signatures of the identified objects and generate a signature of an object of interest. The system further comprises a network configured to send the images of the objects from the camera to the one or more processors. The method further comprises comparing the signatures of the identified objects with the signature of the object of interest to generate similarity scores for the identified objects, and transmitting an instruction for presenting on a display one or more of the images of the objects based on the similarity scores.
