Pharmaceutical Blister Pack Recognition using Local Features
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a high-accuracy, highspeed method for recognizing pharmaceutical blister packs. In the proposed method, we first rank reference images of blister packs stored in a database for a given query image by using a simple voting process based on a nearest-neighbor search for local features. Next, we evaluate the results in ranking order by similarity of shape and color with reference to a template image for each reference image. In the evaluation process, we utilize an arrangement of local features to specify the area in the query image that is similar to the template image. By doing so, we reduce the computational time compared to simple template matching methods. To test our proposed method, we constructed a prototype and tested it at a pharmacy. As a result of this experiment, we demonstrate that the proposed method offers a practical method of recognizing blister packs accurately and quickly.

Palmprint recognition is a new biometrics system based on physiological characteristics of the palmprint, which includes rich, stable, and unique features such as lines, points, and texture. Texture is one of the most important features extracted from low resolution images. In this paper, a new local descriptor, Local Composition Derivative Pattern (LCDP) is proposed to extract smartly stronger...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملObject Recognition based on Local Steering Kernel and SVM
The proposed method is to recognize objects based on application of Local Steering Kernels (LSK) as Descriptors to the image patches. In order to represent the local properties of the images, patch is to be extracted where the variations occur in an image. To find the interest point, Wavelet based Salient Point detector is used. Local Steering Kernel is then applied to the resultant pixels, in ...
