Counterfeit Currency Detection Project

Using deep learning to identify counterfeit Ugandan banknotes from smartphone images.

About the project

DeepFakesUG investigates how convolutional neural networks can distinguish genuine and counterfeit Ugandan banknotes from smartphone photographs. The project compares several model architectures and integrates a selected model into a smartphone application for offline, on-device checks, supporting practical research on currency authentication during everyday transactions.
