Inspiration

Growing up in rough areas, we thought that crime and weapons crime in particular was something we wanted to address. We wanted to make the communities safer and people live without always having the feeling of fear crawling behind them.

What it does

Mobile webapp which allows users to report incident discreetly, detect knives in media feed, and trace nearby stabbings on maps. To reduce panic, we sent the incidents to authorities to let them flag them as important or not.

How we built it

Detectronv2 (Facebook object detection) trained on our own dataset + fine tuned. React native + expo mobile webapp. React webpage. Google Maps API for incident tracking

Challenges we ran into

Developing our own ML knife detection. Sending media through frontend to backend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Managing to get the knife detection successfully working on our own dataset. Building a full stack mobile webapp.

What we learned

How to train ML models. Build mobile webapps. Use Google Maps API.

What's next for SHANK PROOF PRO

Scrape CCTV and just feed it to our knife detection to automatically detect knives in public.
