Identification of JAKIM Halal Logo / Khairil Amirin Kassim

In Islam, choosing halal products are important in life. This is because by referring the rules of dietary laws, Muslim can only consume only lawful (halal) foods and are prohibited from taking the unlawful (haram) foods. Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) has introduced two methods to verify halal logos which are 'E-Halal' System and Verify Halal Application. These two methods are usable, but user needs to pay if they want to use it. This project proposed a method based on image processing to measure the similarity between the original halal logo and tested halal logo. The test halal logo can be retrieved from the internet and can be captured by using a digital camera. Then, the user can verify them by using the proposed system where they will get the similarity matches accuracy between the tested halal and the original halal logo image in the system. Fifty different halal logos have been tested and show that this proposed method could be used in verifying the originality of the tested halal logo. This proposed method is integrated into an application called Identification of JAKIM Halal Logo.
