Abstract

The Unique Logo Authentication System is a web-based application that detects whether a logo is genuine or fake. It uses image preprocessing techniques and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to analyze logo features. The system is developed using Python and Django for efficient backend processing and user interaction. It provides quick and reliable results, helping protect brand identity and prevent logo duplication.

Keywords
