Tablet inspection method and tablet inspection device

The invention provides a tablet inspection method and a tablet inspection apparatus. This tablet inspection method comprises: a step (a) for capturing an image of a tablet and generating a captured image including a plurality of images representing the appearance of the tablet as seen from a plurality of image capturing directions; a step (b) in which inspection processing for detecting defect candidates of the tablets is performed on the captured image; and a step (c) for determining that a defect has occurred in the tablet when a defect candidate common to two or more of the plurality of images is detected in a first region of the tablet reflected in the plurality of images by the inspection process. 本发明提供片剂检查方法以及片剂检查装置。片剂检查方法包括如下工序：工序(a)，在该工序(a)中，拍摄片剂，并生成包括分别映现有从多个拍摄方向观察到的片剂的外观的多个图像的拍摄图像；工序(b)，在该工序(b)中，对上述拍摄图像进行检测片剂的缺陷候补的检查处理；以及工序(c)，在该工序(c)中，当通过上述检查处理在上述多个图像中映现的上述片剂的第1区域中检测到在上述多个图像中的2个以上的图像共通的缺陷候补时，判断为在上述片剂产生缺陷。
