Fake Certificate Detection System Development

I'm in need of a developer to assist in building a system for detecting fake educational certificates.

Key Focus:
- The primary focus of this project is to create and implement document verification algorithms.
- Image analysis will also play a crucial role, specifically using techniques such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and Feature Matching.

Ideal Skills:
- Proficient in Python and OpenCV.
- Extensive experience with deep learning, particularly CNNs.
- Skilled in OCR, preferably with Tesseract.
- Familiarity with blockchain for secure validation trails.
- Bonus points for knowledge in natural language processing to check textual consistency and cross-reference institution/format details.

Deliverables:
- A proof-of-concept model.
- A complete codebase with documentation.
- A basic UI for testing purposes, which can be either a web dashboard or local interface.

The project is expected to take 2 to 4 weeks, contingent on the scope of work and our mutual discussions.
