Paper currency identification using image processing and radial basis function (RBF)

Abstract

“Currency”, generally an accepted form of money, which is officially issued by the government and is circulated by the central bank of every country. It forms the basis for trade within or outside the country. Due to the presence of several countries in this world, there is a vast heterogeneity in currency. Various patterns, colors and images are integrated on paper currency by each country to retain the individuality and legality of their paper currencies. This results in difficulty for people in foreign exchange to recognize currencies from different countries. The aim is to help people solve this problem to remember every feature of the respective currencies.
