Abstract
A system for verifying medication doses in a filled medication package comprises a camera(s), a contour light source(s), a set of relief light sources. A verification unit may be used for imaging a contour of the medication items, imaging a surface relief of the medication items, processing the images, confirming the content of the medication package relative to identification of a type of medication item and/or medication package using the processing of the images. An interface produces a verification output based on the confirmation by the verification unit.
