About the Project — Detect-X

Inspiration

Police investigations often depend on eyewitness descriptions to identify suspects. Creating forensic sketches manually takes time and skilled artists, and delays can affect investigations. We were inspired to build Detect-X to quickly convert a person’s description into a visual sketch using AI, helping investigators act faster.

What Detect-X Does

Detect-X is an AI system that creates a crime suspect sketch from text.
Users describe the suspect’s face (age, eyes, hair, nose, beard, etc.), and the system generates a pencil-style sketch. If the sketch is not perfect, users can give simple corrections like “make the face older” or “add a beard”, and the sketch updates again.

How We Built It

We built Detect-X as a web application:

A simple UI to enter face descriptions
Text is converted into structured facial features
The FIBO AI model generates a realistic pencil sketch
Sketches are saved as cases for future reference

In simple terms: [ \text{Text Description} \rightarrow \text{AI Processing} \rightarrow \text{Forensic Sketch} ]

Challenges We Faced

Converting natural human language into accurate facial features
Keeping earlier details while refining the sketch multiple times
Generating realistic sketches within limited hackathon time

What We Learned

We learned how AI can assist real-world problems like crime investigation. We gained experience in AI image generation, prompt design, and user-friendly interfaces. We also learned that small user feedback loops greatly improve AI results.
