Abstract: Misidentified or unidentified prescription pills are an increasing challenge for all caregivers, both families and professionals. Errors in pill identification may lead to serious or fatal adverse events. To respond to this challenge, a fast and reliable automated pill identification technique is needed. The first and most critical step in pill identification is segmentation of the pill from the background. The goals of segmentation are to eliminate both false detection of background area and false omission of pill area. Introduction of either type of error can cause errors in color or shape analysis and can lead to pill misidentification. The real-world consumer images used in this research provide significant segmentation challenges due to varied backgrounds and lighting conditions. This paper proposes a color image segmentation algorithm by generating superpixels using the Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) algorithm and merging the superpixels by thresholding the region ad jacency graphs. Post-processing steps are given to result in accurate pill segmentation. The segmentation accuracy is evaluated by comparing the consumer-quality pill image segmentation masks to the high quality reference pill image masks. (More)
