Snapchat is rolling out new filters that can recognise objects or scenes in your photos with the help of object recognition to suggest relevant stickers or borders. Object recognition essentially tries to analyze the surrounding for a particular object, thing or scenery to provide relevant information. The social app has used object recognition previously as well to allow users to search for objects or events via a search bar in Snapchat Stories. Snapchat filed a patent back in 2015 for an advertising system that used object recognition to provide relevant filters. Now that Snapchat is rolling this out, we wonder how long it takes before Instagram follows with its own object recognition filters.
