Inspiration

Information is getting harder to trust online. LucidScan is meant to help restore trust in our online spaces.

What it does

LucidScan introduces extra options on the right click menu in chrome when highlighting text or clicking on images or video to scan the authenticity.

How we built it

LucidScan is Javascript extension, a Python server, and two models an AI text detection model and an AI image detection model.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into issues with GPUs being best for model performance and use of CPUs causing performance issues.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the reliability LucidScan has for text.

What we learned

Learned how to write in Javascript, create Chrome extensions, host servers in python, and locally run AI models

What's next for LucidScan

Doing fine tuning on the image model and improving response times with GPU inference.
