Abstract
Counterfeit coins pose a significant challenge in various real-world applications, from vending machines to currency exchange systems, making their reliable detection a matter of utmost importance. This research presents a novel framework designed to tackle this issue by harnessing the power of image-mining techniques. Our proposed framework is developed in two modules. In the first module, a method to detect the region of interest (ROIs) is applied that focuses on blob detection. In the second module, image mining is applied to find image patterns present in coin images using fuzzy association rules mining. The enhancement lies in utilizing Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) within the image mining module. PSO refines the threshold parameters, thereby improving the efficiency of the fuzzy association rules mining process. This integration allows for the automatic determination of optimal values, contributing to the overall robustness of the counterfeit coin detection system. Comprising two modules, this framework offers a unique advantage as a compress, serving as a knowledge attainment tool. By harnessing the full power of fuzzy association rule mining, this paper introduces pruning methods to reduce redundant and insignificant rules. Moreover, we propose a novel algorithm for feature selection and a pruned-based fuzzy associative classifier to establish a robust counterfeit coin detection system. Comparative analysis with other methods using the same dataset showcases the superiority of our framework, exhibiting lower feature dimensions, smoother boundaries, and maintaining satisfactory accuracy. The generality of this study’s problem formulation offers a common framework for addressing similar challenges across various domains.
