BLINDSPOT-CURRENCY RECOGNITION

This project focuses on the problem of recognition of currency bill on a low end mobile phone for the visually impaired individuals.One of the major problems faced by people with visual disabilities is the inability to recognize the paper currencies due to similarity of the paper texture and size between different categories.This project adopts an approach based on computer vision on mobile devices,and will develop an application that can run on low end smartphones.

The project is basically an android application that can be used to recognize the

currency notes. The user have to switch on the application after switching on the

application camera will be opened and it will be asking the user to put a currency

note in front of the camera. When the user will be putting the currency note in

front of the camera the app will be taking the images of the note and that image

will be sent to the CNN model in the back-end. After that model will be predicting

the denomination of the currency and an audio will come saying the denomination

of the currency. Thus the user will be able to know the denomination of the

currency.
