Frequently Asked Questions
How does the pill counter work?
Our pill counter uses advanced computer vision algorithms, including blob analysis and circle detection techniques, to identify and count pills in uploaded images. The system analyzes the image for circular or oval shapes that match the characteristics of pills, filters out noise, and provides an accurate count based on the detection parameters you set.
What types of pills can be detected?
Our tool can detect most common pill shapes, including circular and oval tablets. The algorithm works best with pills that have distinct edges and good contrast with the background. For best results, ensure pills are spread out on a contrasting surface and not overlapping. You can adjust the detection settings to optimize for different pill sizes and shapes.
How accurate is the pill counting?
The accuracy depends on image quality, lighting conditions, pill arrangement, and appropriate settings. In ideal conditions with clear images and well-separated pills, accuracy can exceed 95%. The confidence level indicator shows how reliable the detection is. For critical applications like medication dispensing, we recommend always double-checking the count manually.
What image format and size are supported?
Our tool supports common image formats including JPG, PNG, and GIF. The maximum file size is 10MB. For best results, use clear, high-resolution images with good lighting and contrast between pills and background. Images should be at least 800x600 pixels for optimal detection accuracy.
How can I improve detection accuracy?
To improve accuracy: 1) Use a plain, contrasting background (dark pills on light surface or vice versa), 2) Ensure even lighting without shadows, 3) Spread pills out so they don't overlap, 4) Take photos from directly above, 5) Adjust the detection settings to match your pill size and shape, 6) Use higher resolution images when possible.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes, we take data privacy seriously. All image processing is done in your browser using client-side JavaScript, and images are not uploaded to our servers. The images you analyze never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy for your medication information.
Can I use this for medical purposes?
While our tool provides accurate pill counting in ideal conditions, it's designed as an aid to reduce manual counting effort. For critical medical applications, especially medication dispensing, always verify counts manually. This tool should supplement, not replace, professional medical practices and verification procedures.
