image processing project.......................

Question

i have got a project to differentiate between fake currency and real currency using image processing but i am having no notion about my project neither i am getting any type of support from my mentor.and i am really frusted about my project.if any one know any thing then let me know...

Answer 1

first, read about image processing: this is a vast domain but there is a strong base of common algorithms (thresholding, edge detection, blob analysis...), also understand how an image is stored in the computer memory.

then, read about imaging: how to acquire an image, importance of illuminations, different possibilities of illuminations, types of cameras, ...

(the 2 topics above are discussed at length on the internet, also, you will surely find very good books at your college's library)

now, imagine how you could take pictures of your currency and what will differentiate between a fake and a real one. how can you apply the illumination and image processing algorithm ? matlab is a great tool for experimenting around image processing.
