IMAGE GENERATION DEVICE, MEDICINE IDENTIFICATION DEVICE, MEDICINE DISPLAY DEVICE, IMAGE GENERATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

To provide an image generation device, a medicine identification device, a medicine display device, an image generation method, and a program, capable of efficiently obtaining an image of a medicine subjected to emphasis processing. The generation device (2) includes: an illuminating unit (10) including light-emitting units simultaneously illuminate a surface of a medicine from irradiation directions different from each other; an imaging unit (12) configured to acquire a plurality of first images of the medicine corresponding to the respective wavelength bands from an imaging element; an image generating unit (16) configured to generate, based on the first images acquired by the imaging unit (12), a second image to which emphasis processing for emphasizing the engraved mark or the print on the surface of the medicine has been applied; and a processing control unit (18) configured to control the image generating unit (16) to generate the second image when two or more of output values of the respective first images are equal to or more than a threshold, and control the image generating unit (16) not to generate the second image when less than two of the output values of the respective first images are equal to or more than the threshold.
