Purpose

Mapua University researchers set out to automate Philippine banknote verification — recognizing the denomination and checking the security features that separate genuine bills from counterfeits, without relying on manual inspection.

Description

A Raspberry Pi scanner that examines banknotes feature by feature. Image processing routines in OpenCV inspect the watermark, security thread, and see-through print; K-means color analysis distinguishes denominations; and OCR reads the serial number and Baybayin script markings. A CNN classifier supports denomination recognition, results are announced through audio prompts, and a PyQt interface drives the scanning workflow on the device.
