Problem

This shoe below is a Balenciage model but because of counterfeiting you can buy it for the tenth of the price with the Gucci brand !
It must stop ! Bad people are making money on fake luxury goods each days !

Idea

I had the idea to use AI to stop this plague.
Using a picture of your product, you can immediatly know if your product is fake or not !





Technology

Using ml5 and machine learning, we need a ml5 javascript library in an HTML page.
The code will have two components : one will hold the image and another that will give the result "fake" or "real" after analyzing it.




Operation

1. Add a reference of your library in an html file with a script element.

2. Paste your ml5 code in a .js file. Watch the exemple below.

3. Create a space for your image in the html file ! Use "crossorigin = "anonymous" to allow anyone to drop a picture.

4. Add your results with an results ID.

Limits

Thanks to machine learning, we can detect many conterfeit items.
The only last problem is : what if the counterfeit good is so resembling that our AI do not detect it ?

That's why I suggest to only use it as a personal help and professionals still have to use people to analyze objects. Maybe one day, our AI will be so uncompromising that any objects can be analyze !
