Abstract – Aging is a natural process typically characterized by loss of capabilities such as vision or memory. These transformations interfere with quotidian tasks performance sometimes leading to dangerous situations for senior adults. One of the most relevant is related with the wrong ingestion of medication or even forgetfulness. This kind of mistakes represents a real threat to elder’s health and life. Furthermore, the existing technological solutions concerned with this problematic, are designed for professionals or general public disregarding elderly needs in particular. Thus, in order to overcome this lack of support, it will be presented an image processing tool, which represents the first steps for a larger toolset adapted for elderly persons, under construction. The procedures followed by this proposal include image acquisition and pill characterization based on its shape, dimensions and
colours. The system uses these features in the learning step to describe and store pills information on local database. Later, in the recognition step, the same features are determined and compared against database in order to provide the user with relevant information’s related with the pill under recognition.

Keywords— health care, visually impaired, drug pill recognition, image processing, CNN.
I. INTRODUCTION
The advancing of age also brings loss of capabilities such as vision and memory, which exposes elderly persons to dangerous situations. A common one is related with medication. Elderly persons tend to forget or fail the correct ingestion of medication which can lead to serious health damages. On the other hand, when they realize this situation, their self-confidence gets weakened creating the need of a support to change this scenario. Given the situation of Europe – that will continue increasing the imbalance between taxpayers and beneficiaries every year. It is highly unavailable that this support arises from health care system. Thus, in this system, it is proposed an alternative solution based on technological trends, namely mobile devices. This solution is a subset belonging to wider tool support for elderly, under development. It applies computer vision techniques to aid elderly persons on pill identification task, aiming a reinforcement of confidence and autonomy.
In general, visually impaired elderly people will
be more likely to take the wrong medicines or forget to take their medication. The study also reported that the subject. Accordingly, errors in drug use affecting visually impaired patients are expected to cause high medical losses, and such patients may not have access to sufficient support in this regard. To overcome this problem, we consider the need for a means of drug pill recognition for visually impaired chronic patients. The proposed system can support the medication-use safety of visually impaired chronic patients.
The paper states the review for drug pill recognition for visually impaired person. The section I is introduction of subject and gives overview. The section II considers literature survey done over few papers and datasets formed for recognition while section III gives proposed system for the system.
