Abstract | Forged currency, a persistent threat to the stability of financial systems globally, demands sophisticated detection mechanisms. Traditional methods, reliant on manual inspection and basic image processing techniques, struggle to keep pace with the evolving sophistication of counterfeiters. As counterfeiters employ advanced technologies, including high-resolution printers and sophisticated printing techniques, the need for automated and reliable detection methods becomes increasingly critical. In response to these challenges, the emergence of deep learning technology has reshaped the landscape of image classification. Deep learning algorithms, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in learning complex patterns and features directly from raw data. This breakthrough has found applications across diverse domains, including facial recognition, object detection, and medical imaging. By leveraging deep learning methodologies, the aim is to empower machines to autonomously discern subtle features and distinguish between genuine and counterfeit currency notes with high accuracy. The proposed project seeks to harness the power of deep learning, specifically CNNs, to develop an advanced fake currency detection system. Central to the project is the creation of a comprehensive dataset comprising a diverse range of currency images, encompassing both genuine and counterfeit notes. These images undergo meticulous preprocessing steps to ensure optimal input quality for the deep learning models. Leveraging this dataset, the models are trained, validated, and fine-tuned to optimize performance. In this work, it represents a concerted effort to harness cutting-edge technology in the fight against Forged currency. By leveraging deep learning methodologies and state-of-the-art architectures, it aims to create a formidable defense mechanism that safeguards financial systems against the ever-evolving threat of counterfeiters. |
