1. A work tool recognition system for a work tool coupled to a machine, the work tool recognition system comprising:

  • an image capturing assembly associated with the work tool, the image capturing assembly configured to capture an image feed of the work tool; and

    a controller communicably coupled to the image capturing assembly, the controller configured to;

    receive the image feed of the work tool from the image capturing assembly;

    extract a plurality of features of the work tool from the image feed using image analysis;

    classify the extracted image and determine a confidence value associated with the classification;

    estimate a size of the work tool based on information associated with the image capturing assembly;

    estimate a position and an orientation of the work tool;

    determine verification features of the work tool based on the confidence value and the estimated size, position, and orientation;

    compare the image feed of the work tool with a predetermined dataset based on the classification; and

    identify a type of the work tool based on the comparison.
