Automated bank note identification system for visually impaired subjects in Malaysia
Visually Impaired Malaysians find great
difficulty in recognizing bank notes as there are no
commercially available aid for her currency and not much
research done in the area. A very low cost, high efficient system
has been proposed to help visually impaired Malaysians identify
her bank notes. This system is built around the unique color of
her bank note. The system features a sound module, color sensor
module and a microcontroller module. These three module offer
the system a unique ability to identify Malaysian bank currency
and produce audible sound of the currenciesโ denomination.
The efficiency of the proposed solution has been properly tested
on a dataset composed of consecutive randomized banknotes
including both positive images (Malaysian banknotes) and
negative images (Non Malaysian banknotes and plain color
notes) collected under a variety of conditions. The proposed
algorithm, achieves overall efficiency of 94.17% recognition
