About this publication

DeepFakesUG compares ResNet50V2, InceptionV3, Xception, and ResNet152V2 for distinguishing counterfeit banknotes from genuine ones. The study then incorporates ResNet152V2 into a smartphone application for offline, on-device checks, connecting image classification experiments with a practical method for checking currency during transactions.
