<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medicine counter capable of exactly counting medicine without being affected by print of a cartridge. <P>SOLUTION: A medicine counter includes: a distance calculation part 104 which calculates distance between two points, and geodesic distance for a plurality of movement loci which are loci of movement of blocks consisting of one or more pixels each of which constitutes a picture, over a plurality of pictures constituting moving pictures obtained by picking up medicine encapsulated in a cartridge which is oscillated by an oscillation part; a joint likeness calculation part 105 which calculates joint likeness feature quantity showing a degree that the respective movement loci are movement loci of joints which are parts where medicines contacts each other on the basis of time change of distance between two points between arbitrary movement loci and time change of the geodesic distance; and a separation calculation part 107 which counts the medicine encapsulated in the cartridge on the basis of the joint likeness feature quantity calculated by the joint likeness calculation part 105. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
