This study compares the performance of current object detection models, namely YOLOv7-tiny, YOLOv8n, and EfficientDet-d0, using YOLOv5n as the baseline model in addressing the challenge of Rupiah banknote detection. The challenge involves recognizing unique features on the banknotes, which may have higher complexity compared to common objects in object detection tasks. The dataset used covers 2022 Emission Year Rupiah banknotes, is manually created, and covers various real-world scenarios for comprehensive evaluation. This research also explores the impact of data augmentation to optimize model performance. Results
