About the QRShield AI: Intelligent QR Code Authenticity and Threat Detection project
QRShield AI: Intelligent QR Code Authenticity and Threat Detection automates a check that is normally done by eye. Images are preprocessed, important features are extracted and a trained model decides whether the item is genuine or fake.
In this build: The QR code is decoded, the embedded link is checked for phishing and malware signals, and a generative model explains the risk in plain language.
ProjectNet offers QRShield AI: Intelligent QR Code Authenticity and Threat Detection as a Generative AI final year project for B.E / B.Tech (CSE, IT, AI & DS, AI & ML), BCA, MCA, M.Tech and B.Sc Computer Science. It comes with source code, a project report, a PPT and an installation guide, so you can set it up, understand every module and explain it confidently in your review and viva.
Problem statement
Counterfeits and forgeries cost businesses and individuals money, and manual inspection is slow, subjective and needs expertise. This project builds an automated checker that gives a consistent, quick verdict from an image.
Existing system vs proposed system
Existing system
Manual inspection depends on the skill and attention of the person checking, and basic tools cannot catch subtle differences in print, texture or structure.
Proposed system
The proposed system captures an image, preprocesses it, extracts discriminative features with image processing or a CNN and classifies it as genuine or fake through a simple interface.
Key features of QRShield AI: Intelligent QR Code Authenticity and Threat Detection
- Genuine versus fake classification
- Image preprocessing and enhancement
- Feature extraction with image processing or CNN
- Upload or capture interface
- Confidence score with the verdict
- Report of model performance
System modules
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| Image acquisition | Takes an uploaded or captured image as input. |
| Preprocessing | Resizes, denoises and converts the image to grayscale or normalised form. |
| Feature extraction | Extracts texture, edge and structural features, or learns them with a CNN. |
| Classification | Predicts genuine or fake using the trained model. |
| Result interface | Shows the verdict, confidence score and input image. |
| Evaluation | Measures accuracy, precision, recall and the confusion matrix. |
How the system works
- The user uploads or captures an image.
- The image is resized and cleaned.
- Features are extracted.
- The classifier predicts genuine or fake.
- The verdict and confidence are displayed.
- Results can be saved for audit.
