I made a website that automatically collects images of our favourite mascot duke!
Hello my fellow java enthusiasts!
I made a cool side project that automatically searches the web for images of our beloved java mascot duke. The website shows a random image from the archive. It will also have a full gallery available soon!
How it works:
- It uses the Brave search API to find pages based on some keywords I came up with.
- It uses Openverse and Wikimedia APIs to search for images related to duke.
- Each image gets checked by a custom classifier I have built on top of OpenCLIP and trained on more than 200 Duke images.
- The classifier filters out unrelated results. Because it's not perfect, some images go through manual review. I want to catch unusual duke images without filling the archive with junk!
I will most likely make this open source soon after I'm done implementing all the features I want.
Unfortunately, the backend isn't made with java, I went with python for the easy use of ai models
Currently there are 338 duke images and the archive is still growing!
I would love to hear your feedback! If you have any duke images that it hasn't found or collections that it should discover, please let me know!
