This document discusses detecting counterfeit banknotes of Bangladesh through digital image processing techniques. The objectives are to increase security by safeguarding financial systems, provide automation for fast and accurate detection without manual intervention, and reduce costs by using the open-source OpenCV library. The workflow involves image acquisition, pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification using pattern recognition algorithms to identify notes as genuine or fake. Techniques discussed include contour analysis to detect watermarks and microprints, as well as UV/IR detection to verify security features. The document demonstrates the project using tools like PyCharm and libraries like OpenCV, NumPy, and imutils.
