STUDENTS STUDENTS Department of Informatics Petra University Surabaya, Giovina Muharja, creates the application of paper currency value detection for people with tunenetra.
Users just open an application that directly access the camera and audio on the phone.
For the detection process, the user simply taps the screen twice. The application will record the image of the banknote and analyze the nominal money.
After successfully recognizing the nominal on the banknote, the app will voice the value. To repeat the nominal currency voicing process, users can tap the screen once.
Giovina claimed the presence of the application was caused by the concern of people with visual impairments who are difficult to know the value of the currency so often rely on others who often lead them to be deceived.
This app is part of the final task of Giovina.
This application, explains Giovina, uses a computer vision algorithm system, such as feature detection, feature description, and matching, as well as optimizing the camera on a smart phone.
In the meantime, this application will also undergo a trial process in advance to the blind, in inclusive schools in Surabaya, before uploaded and distributed through the Google app store, the Play Store.
