Indian Paper Currency Authentication System using Image processing

Over the past few years, as a result of the great technological advances in color printing, duplicating and scanning, counterfeiting problems have become more and more serious. In the past, only the printing house has the ability to make counterfeit paper currency, but today it is possible for any person to print counterfeit bank notes simply by using a computer and a laser printer at house. Therefore the issue of efficiently distinguishing counterfeit banknotes from genuine ones via automatic machines has become more and more important. Counterfeit notes are a problem of almost every country but India has been hit really hard and has become a very acute problem. There is a need to design a system that is helpful in recognition of paper currency notes with fast speed and in less time. This proposed system describes an approach for verification of Indian currency banknotes. The currency will be verified by using image processing techniques. In this article, six characteristic features are extracted. The approach consists of a number of components including image processing, edge detection, image segmentation, characteristic extraction, comparing images. The characteristics extraction is performed on the image of the currency and it is compared with the characteristics of the genuine currency. The Sobel operator with gradient magnitude is used for characteristic extraction. Paper currency recognition with good accuracy and high processing speed has great importance for banking system. MATLAB is used to extract the characteristic features of paper currency. The proposed method has advantages of simplicity and high speed. The result will be whether currency is genuine or counterfeit.
