## Model Details

### Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->



- **Developed by:** [Coreviz](https://coreviz.io/)
- **Shared by:** [Coreviz](https://coreviz.io/)
- **Model type:** Vision Embedding Model (based on ViT)
- **License:** Consult with us.
- **Finetuned from model** openai/clip-vit-large-patch14 

### Model Sources [optional]

- **Homepage** [CoreSole](https://coresole.com/)
- **Paper** Coming soon.
- **Interactive Space** [HuggingFace Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/coreviz/coresole)
- **Demo** [CoreSole Live Demo](https://coreviz.io/coresole)

## Uses

For use in assisting forensic professionals in sorting through crime scene footwear impression imagery.

### Direct Use

Returns accurate embeddings for shoeprints based on tread patterns, ignoring the impression's surface (will have closer similarity for shoeprints that have similar patterns regardless of whether the shoeprint is on dust, dirt, blood or a scanned shoe sole).

### Downstream Use [optional]

Bulk tagging and similarity search is available through the [Rekon](https://coreviz.io/rekon) forensic platform. 

### Out-of-Scope Use

Not for use in court proceeding. Not admissible in court. Does not replace expert opinion and does not perform analysis or exact shoeprint matching. For use only as a lead generation tool after thoroughly verifying potential matches. False negatives and false positives are possible and expected.


## How to Get Started with the Model
