Hackathon enriches young and novice minds and rears in them the process of realizing their own capabilities. Through the thorough and exhilarating process of problem-solving one not only hones their technical and imaginative power, but they also become aware of the common man’s problem and in turn the reality of society.

Techtrix 2022 in association with GDSC RCCIIT, brings to you, hack : : Overflow, an event where you will not only be able to do all that’s mentioned but also have immense fun and form a strong network that will push your limits for the rest of your life. In order to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, bring your pals, form a team, and register for hack : : Overflow.

Rules

1. Hacking will start at 1:00PM on 7th April and will end sharp on 9th April at 1:00PM.

2. Problem statements will be provided at 10:00AM on 7th April.

3. Your project should be original. If it resembles any present or published product, you will be disqualified.

4. Your solution should be built entirely during the program timeline, if any discrepancy is found, you will be straightaway disqualified.

5. Working model needs to be presented.

6. Make sure you have kept the repository public.

7. Your repository should have a README.md describing each and every step that needs to be followed to run the solution.

8. One shot commit and submission is not allowed. If you are participating as a team, each of the member's contribution to the solution will be assessed.

12. You have to come up with a team name.

 
Problem Statements

• [TECHTRIX_HACK_01]: Discover the objects and features in the image using Explainable Al Techniques. Field Data is an incredible source of information to validate earth observation studies. Recently with the success of Convolution Neural Networks in Feature Extraction from Satellite Images, there is a need to standardize and generate training datasets. This Field Datasets will be of high value in terms of the research and development in Space Applications. It is felt that catalogue of field data and Al based solution to discover the objects or features will be a milestone during India's Self Reliance Journey in Geospatial Sector.
• [TECHTRIX_HACK_02]: To identify the monuments from Satellite Images using Deep Learning and Integration of Interpretability for the predicted outcomes (Explainable AI).
• [TECHTRIX_HACK_03]: Color of the water is result of solar radiation interaction with water constituents and its concentration. The changing watercolor is direct indicator of changing water parameters and its suitability of usage. Measurement of water leaving radiance in visible region and its transformation to hue angle do provide necessary water parameters. Development of App for measurement of Water Quality using smartphone.
• [TECHTRIX_HACK_04]: Remembering numerous passwords from various different sites can be difficult for a user. So to provide some flexibility we can provide users a graphical password authentication system where instead of creating a password a user has to select graphical objects in a particular order to keep it as their password. In this method, the user is required to select some images (let’s say different chocolates) in a specific pattern (for example dairy milk is followed by 5 stars which is in turn followed by KitKat and so on). Next time the user tries to log in, the images would have been shuffled, but the user will be required to follow the same pattern which was used initially. Every time the user will have to use the same sequence while the images are placed in different ways. This type of authentication is difficult to break since neither brute force nor dictionary attacks could breach it. We need techniques that can be easily implemented and provide better results to this process
• [TECHTRIX_HACK_05]: In order to conserve energy we need to keep a check on all the type of resources that are being used in our day to day life. With IoT it becomes easy to track the resources we are using and we can monitor and keep a check on. Reports generated from such monitoring system can help in conserving natural resources and reduce unnecessary wastage if any. We would like you to develop a mobile/web app system using IoT to make energy conservation easy. Also provide reports on usage of all the resources in day to day life and smart automation methods to reduce the amounts of any resource we use.
  
• [TECHTRIX_HACK_06]: A national database of actual requirement of workforce, category-wise by both Government and Industry, the type of educational or skill qualification required, nature of job, eligibility criteria, salary and perks, career development /progression in every field / sector of employment is urgently required. As each individual nurtures different desires to become in their life, there is a need for career dendrogram, so that one can put forth a concerted efforts to become the best in his vocation and excel in life rather than make umpteen number of mistakes of wrong selection of course of education or career and repent later and go on trying different things losing his precious time/life. We need you to develop a portal where we can use the national database to track the development of individuals. According to their performance in their workplace, their hobbies and extra curricular activities the portal should suggest them their career goals. This can be what they are best in and according to that what is the best career they can choose for themselves. This can reduce in making mistakes in selecting career.

• General
  The Hackathon will be evaluated by a panel of judges selected by TechTrix and GDSC RCCIIT. One of the main goals is to recognize the potential of the projects for further development and presentation.
• Art and Technology
  How effective is the infusion of technology to enhance the work? Does it integrate deep learning in an innovative, unexpected way? Is it showing a new approach towards data input, data output or dataset ?
• Creativity and Originality
  How unique and creative is the project from an artistic perspective? How original and innovative are the depicted concept, vision, and visual theme? What are the references to contemporary art?
• Potential for Further Development - Feasibility
  Does the proposed prototype have the potential to grow and deliver the imagined result in the post-production stage? Are the team’s skills able to maintain and improve the project? Did they utilize the tools in the best way?
• Clarity and Quality
  Is the depicted theme clear to the viewer? How well is the concept reflected on the piece? Does the artwork stand on its own as a complete and outstanding work of art? Does it work outside of the competition ?
• Inspiration
  Can the project inspire other ideas?
• Scale of Awesome
  Something in the project that is beyond the expected, surprising, and exciting.
