            Abstract : 
To inspect medical capsules with one-dose package (ODP), we propose an automated inspection system based on computer vision. In the proposed system, we capture both-side of capsules at once and apply hierarchical recognition. In this paper, we report several results of preliminary experiments, which distinguish 9 kinds of capsules. As a result, we have achieved 99.1 percent recognition rate and discuss its validity.
