Summary/Description of the Project

CrimeBOT is a surveillance tool designed to identify porch pirates by analyzing webcam footage in real-time. It first detects faces using YOLO, assigns IDs based on similarity to track multiple people if needed, and processes the faces through two separate Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) machine learning models: one for demographic information and another for a set of 28 other attributes. These CNN’s output feature vectors, which are then processed by an LLM to generate a detailed, objective description of the individual. The goal is to provide law enforcement with a quick and accurate way to identify suspects, aiding in the fight against package theft.

One of our group members has an issue with multiple Amazon packages being stolen after moving to a new home. Due to the recurrence, Amazon no longer believes the claims and refuses to issue any refunds. Using a Ring doorbell and contacting non-emergency services, have been unsuccessful since the thefts couldn't be caught in the act. To address this, we developed CrimeBot, a system that can identify the thief when the crime occurs for quicker action.

Nine in 10 Americans are worried about stolen holiday packages, and more than a quarter are “very” or “extremely” concerned. 16 percent of suicides in the US occur in response to a financial problem.

CrimeBot is able to drastically increase the efficiency and accuracy of identifying porch pirates. By automating the process of face detection and profiling, it enables law enforcement to respond faster and without bias, reducing the time it takes to track down suspects. CrimeBot could be easily added to existing smart home security systems like Ring. The use of AI and machine learning allows for a more consistent approach, minimizing human error and bias. CrimeBot could indirectly save lives by helping reduce the financial stress caused by theft, which can lead to suicide. Package theft, especially for people relying on deliveries for essential goods, can increase financial difficulties, leaving people without items they have already paid for.
