Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product recognize relevant objects in images in real time. The method includes capturing an image of a surrounding environment using a device. The method also includes identifying an object and a shape of the object in the image of the surrounding environment using a computer vision algorithm. The method further includes determining that the object is a relevant object based on the shape of the object. Lastly, the method includes performing an operational action based on the relevant object.
