Abstract:
A medicine verification device of the present invention includes: a detection unit that detects a boundary recess formed at a boundary position between a plurality of packaging bags each of which packs a medicine and is connected to form a continuous packaging bag having a strip-like shape; and an image capturing unit that captures an image of a surface of an imaging target portion on which at least the boundary recess is located a plurality of times while imaging conditions are changed in a state where light is emitted toward the surface of the imaging target portion in the continuous packaging bag, wherein the detection unit detects the boundary recess in the imaging target portion on the basis of the plurality of images captured while changing the imaging conditions by the image capturing unit.
