Disclosed herein is a method and system for counting plurality of objects placed in a region. An image of the region is captured and partitioned into segments based on depth of the plurality of objects. Further, shape of each of the plurality of objects in each object region of each segment is determined and validated based on comparison of the determined shape with predetermined shapes. Finally, count of the plurality of objects of each shape is aggregated for determining count of the plurality of objects in the region. In an embodiment, the present disclosure helps in automatically recognizing and counting the plurality of objects of multiple dimensions and multiple shapes, even when the image of the region includes a distorted/unfavorable background.
