MEDICINAL SUBSTANCE IDENTIFICATION BASED ON CONTAINER RECOGNITION

摘要

Provided is a system for identifying a drug container that includes an image capture device configured to capture an optical image of a portion of a label provided to the drug container, and a non-transitory computer storage medium storing a plurality of features for each of a plurality of different drugs included in a database. The features associated with each of the plurality of different drugs are suggestive of an identity of a drug identity but do not, alone, positively identify the drug identity. A processing component is configured to receive data representing the optical image transmitted by the image capture device and to identify a candidate for the drug identity based on the plurality of features associated with the candidate.

1. A system for suggesting an identity of a drug within a drug container, the system comprising:
an image capture device configured to capture an image of a portion of a label provided to the drug container; a non-transitory computer storage medium that stores a database comprising a plurality of drug entries and a plurality of features associated with each of the drug entries, wherein
each of the plurality of features associated with each drug entry is suggestive of a drug identity corresponding to the drug entry but does not, alone, uniquely identify the drug identity; and a processing component configured to evaluate content included in the image and identify a candidate for the identity of the drug by evaluating each of the plurality of features included in the image and referencing the drug database.
