​

• Problem Statement Title- AI-Powered Mobile Platform for Democratizing Sports Talent Assessment
• Team Name- Halcyon Minds
• Team Members- Kaustubh Karne, Kartik Mehta, Chinmay Metha, Vinayak More

Proposed Solution:�A mobile-first AI platform that enables athletes to record and submit standardized sports test performances for fair, scalable, and transparent assessment.�

Features:

• On-device AI Video Analysis: Track jumps, reps, timing, throws, posture.
• AI Cheat Detection: Prevent tampered videos/incorrect movements.
• Offline Analysis + Low Bandwidth Support: Works in remote regions.
• Leaderboard System: Regional → State → National rankings.

​

More Features:

• Gamified UI: Badges, challenges, competitions for motivation.
• Regionwise Coordinators: Organize competitions, verify data.
• Rulebook + Instructions before video recording.��Novelty/Uniqueness:
• Broader sport coverage: running, swimming, throws, gymnastics, archery.
• Integration of health records + past achievements into profiles.
• Structured ecosystem: Players ↔ Coordinators ↔ Ministry.

​

Technologies to use:

• Mobile App: Flutter/React Native (cross-platform)
• Backend: Node.js/Django + Cloud (AWS/GCP)
• Database: PostgreSQL / MongoDB
• AI/ML Modules:

Pose estimation (MediaPipe / OpenPose)

Object tracking for throws & jumps

Cheat detection via anomaly detection models

• Security: Aadhaar-based login, secure video upload, encryption

Methodology

​

• App Development – registration with unique ID, video recording of tests, sport-wise leaderboards.
• AI Integration – on-device ML for rep counting, jump/throw analysis, cheat detection.
• Backend & Dashboard – secure data transfer, coordinator tools, SAI official dashboards.
• Pilot Testing – start in one region, refine model, then scale to districts → state → national.

Feasibility:

• Lightweight ML models enable offline analysis on entry-level smartphones.
• Minimal infra needed → just smartphone & internet (intermittent OK).
• Scalable architecture for national rollout.

​

Challenges & Risks:

• Video tampering attempts → counter with AI cheat detection.
• Device diversity (low-end phones) → optimize AI for efficiency.
• Adoption resistance in rural areas → use coordinators for trust-building.

Strategies

​

• Gamification – badges, leaderboards, and weekly challenges to keep athletes motivated and active on the platform.
• Govt. & SAI Backing – official endorsement ensures credibility, trust, and large-scale adoption.
• Regionwise Competitions – local-to-national level events managed by coordinators for fair participation and equal opportunities.�

Impact:

• Democratization: Any athlete, anywhere, can participate.
• Mass Participation: Millions can be screened efficiently.
• Fair & Transparent: AI removes human bias.
• Scalable: From village → district → national level seamlessly.

​

Benefits:

• Discover hidden rural talent at scale.
• Low-cost solution, accessible to all.
• Faster evaluation → quicker athlete identification.
• Direct support channel from athletes to Sports Authority of India.
