Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pharmaceutical verification (PV) camera system that captures an image of the contents of a vial on an automated dispensing line is closed. Faster image processing time is achieved by utilizing a learning algorithm that stores camera parameters for a successful image associated with data for a prescription processed on the automated dispensing line. During processing of a prescription order, when the vial contents and availability of stored parameters is confirmed, the stored parameters are transmitted to the camera and an image of the vial contents is captured and stored. When a previously un-encountered or un-trained vial is detected, the camera engages the autofocus feature to capture an image. The learning algorithm evaluates the image based on feedback from one or more metric. Upon agreement with the metric standards, an image is accepted and archived and the camera parameters associated with that vial prescription are stored for later use.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computerized method for capturing an image of a drug vial on an automated dispensing line comprising: (a) prior to receiving an image of said drug vial from a camera, receiving at a computer expected vial configuration data for said drug vial; (b) receiving at said computer at least one camera setting associated with said vial configuration data; (c) transmitting from said computer to a camera on said automated dispensing line said at least one camera…
