Money Bill Recognition

Good day…
I am trying to develop a money bill recognition for Naira and other African using Corona sdk one but I don’t know how to go about the recognition code !!!

 

This is my project work:
my idea is to make an software to detect the currency using camera and give me the value of the bill in voice format.
 
can any body help me! please. I wouldn’t mind paying a token

 

Thank you. 

You have 2 options I can think of.

  1. Get Corona Enterprise and code this functionality natively for iOS and Android. 

  2. Code the functionality server side. Take photo of money with app that is uploaded to a server that analyses the picture and sends you a sound file.

To upgrade to enterprise is not a problem but how to get it down.

Even if I use server side, how do I analyses the picture and detect if it matches with the one in the database?

I need a guide please.

Hi,

Honestly, your request is very specific and high level, so 1) I doubt that anyone will be able to simply explain this to you, and 2) I don’t think anyone will give you this info for free. The folks on this forums are very generous and helpful, but your request is asking a bit much, I believe - although I hope someone will prove me wrong.

Thank you for your effort so far.

I really need a solution to this.

I can pay for solution. This is my final year school project.

Thanks.

I won’t be able to help you unfortunately, not even paid, because I don’t have the specific knowledge. Try seeing if you can upload imagse to image.google.com and see what description comes back in the HTML.

Once again, just so you don’t waste too much time: I don’t see anyone giving you a quick, cheap and easy solution.

Hi @nobleogyify.

As already mentioned, today it is not possible to develop your app using only Corona SDK.  You would have to go Corona Enterprise and use some SDK that provides image recognition. Since it appears to be a simple app, you may find better to simply go full native on developing it or use other frameworks that already support that SDK…

About image recognition SDK, I recommend you to check the Vuforia SDK.  Vuforia is a SDK that gives you Augmented Reality and also image recognition. They have iOS, Java & Unity plugins. You can find several tutorials/videos about how to use Vuforia on Unity.

On a high high level approach, to develop that app using the Vuforia you will have to:

  1. Create an account on the Vuforia website and download the SDK.  

  2. On the Vuforia SDK website, you will have to upload the images that you want to recognize (i.e, all your bills). The website will generate a database file based on that images. You will have to download that file and add to your project together with Vuforia SDK.

  3. On your project, you need to add Vuforia SDK and configure it to use the database file (that you download from the Vuforia site).

Vuforia has a free tier that is very generous, so you will probably be able to do everything that you need for free.
