I chose to make this project because...

I made this project because there exists inconsistencies in human referee decisions because one referee and another or even in the same bout. My project sought to eliminate that with a completely transparent and objective decision making process.

What I found difficult and how I worked it out

One difficulty I faced was the selection of a model to use for my human recognition. I initially used YoloV5 with Media piple but it was slow and inaccurate so I switched to the newer YoloV7 for better performance.

Next time, I would...

If I had more time I would add the function of blade detection for increased accuracy in actions where blade actions exists and is determining the prority.
