Fraud detection of power meter reading using image matching with inception v3 convolutional neural network

Corruption occurs everywhere, and even meter readers can be corrupted. One of the examples is the consumer that is unwilling to pay utility bill will collude with meter reader to manipulate the meter reading for the utilities.

description Corruption occurs everywhere, and even meter readers can be corrupted. One of the examples is the consumer that is unwilling to pay utility bill will collude with meter reader to manipulate the meter reading for the utilities. For preventing such a thing from happening the utilities company had introduced a method to the meter reader which tells them to attach the meter reading (number) along with the photo of the meter with the reading. The photo will be sent to the company to ensure the meter reading is correct and the number is not created or generated by the meter reader. There is nothing perfect in this world, with this prevention the meter reader is still able to find a loop hole that allows them to manipulate the meter reading. What they do is get the meter reading from another meter and use the number and photo for the other consumer. This causes a lot of issues to the customer.
