Automated visual inspection of imprinted pharmaceutical tablets

This paper is on automated visual inspection of tablets that may, in contrast to manual tablet sorting, provide objective and reproducible tablet quality assurance. Visual inspection of the ever-increasing numbers of produced imprinted tablets, regulatory enforced for unambiguous identification of active ingredients and dosage strength of each tablet, is especially demanding. The problem become...

Modelling imprints of pharmaceutical tablets for imprint quality visual inspection

Identification of pharmaceutical tablets plays a key role in preventing mix-ups among various types of tablets. Since identification of tablets is most frequently done by imprints, good imprint quality, a property that makes the imprint readable, is of utmost importance. In this paper, we propose a novel method for automated visual inspection of tablets for defect detection and imprint quality ...

This paper reports on the results of a simulation performed to test the hypothesis that female preference for mating with co-operative males can lead to an increase in the proportio...
