MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641062285 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on May 16, for 'wearable multi-modal currency authentication and denomination detection system using sensor fusion.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Karthikeyan P; Keerthiswaran K R; Chandni H; Harshith B; R Santhosh; and Deepakraj E.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A wearable multi-modal currency authentication and denomination detection system (100) for enabling identification and verification of currency notes, particularly for blind and visually impaired users. The system comprises a wearable glove structure (102) integrating a camera module (104), an illumination assembly (106) including ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and visible light sources, a UV sensing module (108), an IR sensing module (110), and an optional magnetic sensing module (112). A processing unit (114) receives inputs from the sensing modules and performs denomination classification using a trained model along with authenticity verification through a structured sensor fusion mechanism. An Authenticity Confidence Index (ACI) is computed based on weighted contributions from multiple sensing modalities and compared with a predefined threshold to classify currency as authentic or suspicious. An output interface (116) provides audio and optional haptic feedback to the user. The system operates in real time using a low-power embedded architecture, enabling portable, reliable, and independent currency authentication."
