We have shown that shapes representing functions can be opto-mechanically integrated and re-produced. This method involves linear opto-mechanical scanning. We show that angular opto-mechanical scanning can be used to classify shapes by symmetry groups. This information can then be used to identify objects mathematically based on their symmetries. Applications lie in the fields of psychology, quality control, and surveillance.
