1. A drug sample identification system, comprising:
- an imaging staging module to enable substantially simultaneous image capturing of a first perspective view of a drug sample, a second perspective view of the drug sample, and a third perspective view of the drug sample, the first perspective view of the drug sample being different from the second perspective view of the drug sample, the first perspective view of the drug sample being different from the third perspective view of the drug sample, the second perspective view of the drug sample being different from the third perspective view of the drug sample, the first perspective view of the drug sample being orthogonal to the third perspective view of the drug sample, the second perspective view of the drug sample being orthogonal to the third perspective view of the drug sample.

Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus for drug sample identification, including a scale for weighing a drug sample and an imaging module for capturing digital images of the drug sample, from at least two different visual perspectives simultaneously, and an transmitting the collected data and images, via an interface, to a computer for storage and association with an image database.

19. A method for identifying a drug sample, comprising:
-
(a) placing a drug sample in an imaging stage module; and (b) image capturing, substantially simultaneously, a first perspective view of a drug sample, a second perspective view of the drug sample, and a third perspective view of the drug sample, the first perspective view of the drug sample being different from the second perspective view of the drug sample, the first perspective view of the drug sample being different from the third perspective view of the drug sample, the second perspective view of the drug sample being different from the third perspective view of the drug sample, the first perspective view of the drug sample being orthogonal to the third perspective view of the drug sample, the second perspective view of the drug sample being orthogonal to the third perspective view of the drug sample. - View Dependent Claims (20)

21. A drug sample identification system, comprising:
an imaging staging module to provide, at a single image plane, a first perspective view of a drug sample, a second perspective view of the drug sample, and a third perspective view of the drug sample so as to enable substantially simultaneous image capture of first, second, and third perspective views of the drug sample at said single image plane, the first perspective view of the drug sample being different from the second perspective view of the drug sample, the first perspective view of the drug sample being different from the third perspective view of the drug sample, the second perspective view of the drug sample being different from the third perspective view of the drug sample, the first perspective view of the drug sample being orthogonal to the third perspective view of the drug sample, the second perspective view of the drug sample being orthogonal to the third perspective view of the drug sample.
