Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying a pharmaceutical composition, the method comprising: accessing a set of images of the pharmaceutical composition, the set of images including: a first image of the pharmaceutical composition from a first point of view, and a second image of the pharmaceutical composition from a second point of view different from the first point of view; extracting features from each image of the pharmaceutical composition in the set of images, the features including a rotationally-independent measure of surface features of the pharmaceutical composition in the image, wherein the rotationally-independent measure of surface features describes surface features of the pharmaceutical composition with respect to a radial distance from a point in the image of the pharmaceutical composition; generating a feature vector associated with each image of the pharmaceutical composition that includes the features extracted for that image and one or more features appended from another image in the set of images; applying at least one classifier to each of the feature vectors to determine at least one classification associated with each image; and determining a pill identification by accumulating the at least one classification for each image.
