Fake Currency Detector (Indian Currency)

The project is based on differentiating between real and fake notes based on the characteristics of the real notes. The technologies involved in the project are MATLAB, Android and Arduino microcontroller.

The notes are classified as real or fake on the basis of the dimensions and the features extracted - the number script written on the note and both the Gandhiji figures - hologram and visible Gandhi. The various image analysis techniques applied are greyscale conversion, edge detection, image segmentation and characteristic extraction.

The images clicked with an Android phone were sent via Bluetooth or Email. After receiving the image on the system, it was subjected to the MATLAB code, which had all the techniques implemented.
