IIT-KGP students devised a solution to detect fake notes

At a recently concluded nationwide competition, Smart India Hackathon 2019, students from the IIT-KGP devised solutions such as detecting counterfeit currency and detecting nuclear radiation through wearable sensors. A group of six students from the IIT-KGP has developed a smartphone application which can detect fake currency. In a statement, IIT KGP said “the students have developed an image processing application which can detect counterfeit currency”. The applications can be installed on smart phones and can be used by the people on the go thereby reducing the chances of fraud. Six students who developed the code are: T.Y.S.S. Santosh, Satish Kumar Reddy, Vipul Tomar, Sai Krishna, Drishti Tulsi and D V Sai Surya. Group leader T.Y.S.S Santosh said, "a user can upload a currency note image and the mobile app would verify its authenticity using 25 features extracted from the front and rear side of the currency note. In case of detection of a fake note, the user will also be notified of the failure checkpoints." In another innovative project, students from IIT-KGP developed a solution which can be used to detect nuclear radiation in the area along with the size, shape and direction of the source. "This solution is well suited to occupational workers carrying wearable sensors detecting radiation dose data. The sensors can pinpoint the location of radiation leaks in nuclear plants and refineries. The solution can also find applications in medical radiation therapy or radiotherapy as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cancer cells," Lakshay Bansal, leader of the six-member team said. The team that devised the nuclear radiation solution consist of Lakshay Bansal, Ch V Sai Praveen, Aditi Kambli, Rajshekhar Singhania, Ayush Mohanty and Kaustubh Agrawal.
