An innovative event that blends students, technologists, academicians to ideate, formulate and render the concepts of AI embodying the future of agriculture. AgriThon serves as a blithesome, explorative platform nurturing originative ideas affirming innovation. An opportunity for application pitching, idea transformation, realization with competent teams for building, delivering prototypes, consequently presented and evaluated by the mentors. Hackathon winners will be credited with astonishing rewards.
*Registration closed.*
Develop a machine learning model that can accurately identify and segment regions of plant leaves affected by disease/pest in images provided in a dataset. The model should be able to classify the images into different disease categories and highlight the affected areas on the leaves. The participants will be judged based on the accuracy, inference time and novelty of the architecture used.
TRACK 2Develop an Android mobile application that can interact with a provided REST API for plant disease detection. The app should be able to send an image of a plant leaf to the API, receive the disease classification, disease stage, and other metadata in response, and display the results in a user-friendly interface. The participants will be judged on the app's User Interface, User Experience and functionality of the API integration.
TRACK 3Develop a computer vision algorithm/machine learning model that can accurately identify drivable areas in an unlabelled dataset of RGB and depth data from a sugar cane field. The data is taken from a restricted area where robots are used to move around. The algorithm should be able to distinguish the drivable areas from non-drivable areas in the field. The participants will be evaluated based on the accuracy of the algorithm and its ability to generalize to new data.
Events are held in two stages Round 1 (online) and Round 2 (offline). Their schedule is provided below.

Individuals/Team of maximum 3 participants can apply for the hackathon. The selected Individuals will be invited for the hackathon in-person at Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore. Specific Problem statements will be provided after the commencement of the hackathon and teams will have 36 hours to implement their ideas.
The last date to register for the hackathon is 15th February 2023.
This event is completely free for VITians and Non-VITians.
Food will be provided to Non-VIT participants and refereshments will be provided to all participants.
All under and post graduate students irrespective of branch and year, who are registered under affiliated institutes across India. Reimbursements for any expenses will not be provided.
The team can consist of 2 to 3 members. Individuals applying for the hackathon will be paired in teams by the organising committee.
All the participants are required to have laptops for the hack. Each teams participating in the AI and Robotics track will be provided Nvidia Jetson Nano Boards along with camera and WiFi modules (to be used during the hackathon). The teams participating in the robotics track will be given access to a Ground Robot Platform (shared between all the teams).
