Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for recognizing objects used in a medical procedure using a convolutional neural network. No database of image information for such objects is used or required. Rather, the neural network is trained to recognize the objects, and does not require any such image database. The system is able to reconcile the recognized objects against a 'counted-in' list of objects for the procedure, to ensure that all such objects are accounted for prior to closing the procedure.
