Abstract
In recent years, many accidents concerned with medicine have been caused by the confusing design of pharmaceutical packages and displays. We concentrate on the appearance similarity of PTP sheets, which are most commonly used for wrapping tablets in Japan, to clarify the factors and the degrees of their effects on appearance similarity. This paper describes our experiments that examined evaluation methods of the appearance similarity of PTP sheets.
