+
+### 2.3 Architecture Principles
+
+- **Separation of Concerns**: Each service handles specific responsibilities
+- **Dual-Pipeline Design**: Player tracking and crowd monitoring as independent modules
+- **Scalability**: Independent microservices can scale horizontally
+- **Resilience**: Service isolation prevents cascading failures
+- **Modularity**: Components can be updated or replaced independently
+- **Security by Design**: Authentication at every layer
+
+### 2.4 Communication Patterns
+
+**Frontend ↔ Backend Gateway**:
+- **REST API**: Primary communication protocol
+- **HTTP Multipart**: Video file uploads
+- **JSON Payloads**: Structured data exchange
+- **JWT Tokens**: Bearer token authentication
+- **WebSocket** (Future): Real-time updates
+
+**Backend Gateway ↔ Player Tracking Microservice**:
+- **Internal HTTP/REST**: Service-to-service communication
+- **Video File Transfer**: Multipart video upload
+- **JSON Response**: Analytics and tracking data
+- **Static URLs**: Links to heatmaps and processed videos
+
+**Backend Gateway ↔ Crowd Monitoring API**:
+- **External HTTP/REST**: Third-party API integration
+- **Frame Upload**: Individual frame images (JPEG)
+- **Image Response**: Heatmap PNG files
+- **Custom Headers**: People count metadata
+
+**Backend Gateway ↔ PostgreSQL Database**:
+- **SQLAlchemy ORM**: Object-relational mapping
+- **Connection Pooling**: Efficient database access
+- **Transactions**: ACID compliance for data integrity
+
+**Data Flow Summary**:
+```
+User Upload → Backend Gateway → {
+    Player Tracking: Backend → Tracking Service → DB
+    Crowd Monitoring: Backend → Crowd API → DB
+} → Analytics Aggregation → Frontend Display
+```

+
+## 7. AI/ML Components
+
+### 7.1 YOLOv11 Object Detection
+
+**Model Architecture**: YOLOv11 (You Only Look Once v11)
+- **Type**: Single-stage object detector
+- **Backbone**: CSPDarknet
+- **Head**: Detection head with anchor-free prediction
+- **Input**: Variable resolution (typically 640×640)
+- **Output**: Bounding boxes, class probabilities, confidence scores
+
+**Model Training**:
+- **Dataset**: Custom AFL player dataset
+- **Training Platform**: Google Colab with GPU
+- **Framework**: Ultralytics (PyTorch-based)
+- **Weights**: `best.pt` (fine-tuned model)
+- **Classes**: Single class ("player")
+
+**Inference Configuration**:
+```python
+model = YOLO("best.pt")
+results = model.track(
+    frame,
+    persist=True,
+    tracker="bytetrack.yaml",
+    conf=0.3,  # Confidence threshold
+    device="cuda"  # GPU acceleration
+)
+```
+
+### 7.2 ByteTrack Multi-Object Tracking
+
+**Algorithm**: ByteTrack (modified SORT)
+- **Method**: Kalman filtering + Hungarian algorithm
+- **Features**:
+  - Low-confidence detection recovery
+  - Occlusion handling
+  - ID persistence across frames
+  - Fast association (real-time capable)
+
+**Tracking Pipeline**:
+1. **Detection**: YOLOv11 produces bounding boxes
+2. **Prediction**: Kalman filter predicts next position
+3. **Association**: Hungarian algorithm matches detections to tracks
+4. **Update**: Track states updated with matched detections
+5. **Management**: New tracks created, lost tracks removed
+
+**Overlap Filtering**:
+```python
+def calculate_iou(box1, box2):
+    # Intersection over Union
+    intersection = calculate_intersection(box1, box2)
+    union = area(box1) + area(box2) - intersection
+    return intersection / union
+
+# Keep only highest confidence when IoU > 0.7
+```
+
+### 7.3 Heatmap Generation Algorithm
+
+**Mathematical Foundation**:
+
+**1. Coordinate Transformation**:
+```
+Raw pixels → AFL oval metres
+x_m = ((x - x_min) / (x_max - x_min)) * 159.5 - 79.75
+y_m = ((y - y_min) / (y_max - y_min)) * 128.8 - 64.4
+```
+
+**2. Grid Discretization**:
+- Resolution: 200×150 cells
+- Coverage: Full AFL oval (159.5m × 128.8m)
+- Cell size: ~0.8m × 0.86m
+
+**3. Density Accumulation**:
+```
+H[i,j] += weight(confidence)
+where (i,j) = grid cell containing (x_m, y_m)
+```
+
+**4. Gaussian Smoothing**:
+```
+H_smooth = gaussian_filter(H, sigma=2.0)
+```
+
+**5. Oval Masking**:
+```
+mask = (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) ≤ 1
+where a=79.75m, b=64.4m (semi-axes)
+```
+
+**Zone Segmentation**:
+- **Back 50**: Circular region (radius 50m) from left goal
+- **Forward 50**: Circular region (radius 50m) from right goal
+- **Midfield**: Remaining central area
+
+### 7.4 Performance Metrics
+
+**Player Analytics Calculations**:
+
+```python
+# Distance calculation
+distance_m = Σ(euclidean_distance(pos[i], pos[i-1]) * 0.05)
+
+# Speed calculation
+speed_m_s = distance_m / (timestamp[i] - timestamp[i-1])
+
+# Outlier rejection
+if speed_m_s > 8.0:  # Unrealistic AFL speed
+    reject()
+
+# Smoothing
+smoothed_pos = moving_average(positions, window=5)
+```
+
+**Crowd Density Metrics**:
+- **People Count**: Number of detected persons per frame
+- **Spatial Distribution**: Heatmap intensity values
+- **Temporal Analysis**: Frame-by-frame density changes
+
+### 7.5 GPU Acceleration
+
+**CUDA Configuration**:
+```
+PyTorch: 2.5.1+cu121
+CUDA Version: 12.1
+cuDNN: Enabled
+Device: NVIDIA GPU
+Compute Capability: 7.0+
+```
+
+**Performance Impact**:
+- **CPU-only**: ~5-10 FPS processing
+- **GPU (CUDA)**: ~60-120 FPS processing
+- **Speedup**: 10-20× faster inference

+
+### 9.2 Password Security
+
+**Hashing Algorithm**: bcrypt with PassLib
+- **Rounds**: 12 (default)
+- **Salt**: Automatically generated per password
+- **Verification**: Constant-time comparison
+
+```python
+from passlib.context import CryptContext
+pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"], deprecated="auto")
+
+# Registration
+hashed = pwd_context.hash(plain_password)
+
+# Login
+is_valid = pwd_context.verify(plain_password, hashed_password)
+```
+
+### 9.3 OAuth Integration
+
+**Supported Providers**:
+- Google OAuth 2.0
+- Apple Sign In
+
+**OAuth Flow**:
+```
+1. User clicks "Continue with Google"
+   ↓
+2. Redirect to Google OAuth consent screen
+   ↓
+3. User authorizes application
+   ↓
+4. Google redirects back with auth code
+   ↓
+5. Backend exchanges code for access token
+   ↓
+6. Backend fetches user profile
+   ↓
+7. Backend creates/updates user account
+   ↓
+8. Backend generates JWT token
+   ↓
+9. Frontend receives token and redirects to dashboard
+```
+
+**Environment Variables**:
+```bash
+GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
+GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
+APPLE_CLIENT_ID=your-services-id
+APPLE_TEAM_ID=your-team-id
+APPLE_KEY_ID=your-key-id
+APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY=your-private-key
+```
+
+### 9.4 Authorization
+
+**Role-Based Access Control**:
+- Users can only access their own uploads
+- User ID validation on every protected endpoint
+- Database foreign key constraints enforce ownership
+
+**Authorization Check**:
+```python
+def get_current_user(token: str = Depends(oauth2_scheme)) -> int:
+    payload = jwt.decode(token, SECRET_KEY, algorithms=[ALGORITHM])
+    user_id = payload.get("sub")
+    return int(user_id)
+
+# In endpoint
+@router.post("/inference/player/track")
+async def run_player_track(req: Request, user_id: int = Depends(get_current_user)):
+    rec = get_upload(req.id)
+    if rec["user_id"] != user_id:
+        raise HTTPException(status_code=403, detail="Not authorized")
+```
+
+### 9.5 Security Best Practices
+
+- **HTTPS**: Should be enabled in production
+- **CORS**: Configured to allow specific origins
+- **SQL Injection**: Protected by SQLAlchemy ORM
+- **XSS**: React escapes by default
+- **CSRF**: Not applicable (JWT tokens, no cookies)
+- **Rate Limiting**: Should be implemented in production
+- **File Upload Validation**: Type and size checks
+- **Environment Variables**: Secrets not committed to repository

+## Appendix A: Security Guidelines & OWASP Compliance
+
+### A.1 OWASP Top 10 Mitigation Strategies
+
+This section addresses how the system mitigates OWASP Top 10 security risks:
+
+#### A01: Broken Access Control
+**Mitigation**:
+-  JWT token validation on every protected endpoint
+-  User ownership verification (user can only access own uploads)
+-  Foreign key constraints enforce data ownership
+-  HTTP 403 responses prevent information leakage
+- Dependency injection pattern for clean authorization
+
+#### A02: Cryptographic Failures
+**Mitigation**:
+-  bcrypt password hashing (12 rounds minimum)
+-  JWT tokens with HS256 algorithm
+-  Automatic salt generation per password
+-  No plain-text password storage
+- HTTPS required in production
+-  Environment variables for secrets (never hardcoded)
+
+#### A03: Injection
+**Mitigation**:
+-  SQLAlchemy ORM prevents SQL injection
+-  Parameterized queries (never string concatenation)
+-  Pydantic validation on all API inputs
+-  Type checking with TypeScript (frontend)
+-  FastAPI automatic input validation
+
+#### A04: Insecure Design
+**Mitigation**:
+-  Authentication required for all sensitive operations
+- Separation of concerns (microservices)
+-  Rate limiting recommended for production
+-  Cascade delete rules prevent orphaned data
+- Comprehensive error handling
+
+#### A05: Security Misconfiguration
+**Production Requirements**:
+-  Change all default passwords
+- Generate secure JWT_SECRET (32+ bytes)
+-  Enable HTTPS/TLS
+-  Configure CORS with specific origins
+-  Disable debug mode in production
+-  Set secure cookie flags
+-  Regular dependency updates
+
+#### A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components
+**Mitigation Strategy**:
+-  Pinned dependency versions (requirements.txt, package.json)
+-  Regular security audits (`npm audit`, `pip-audit`)
+-  Automated dependency updates (Dependabot recommended)
+- LTS versions of core technologies
+
+#### A07: Identification and Authentication Failures
+**Mitigation**:
+- JWT tokens with 60-minute expiration
+- bcrypt password hashing
+-  OAuth integration (Google, Apple)
+-  Email uniqueness constraint
+-  Implement MFA for production (recommended)
+-  Account lockout after failed attempts (recommended)
+
+#### A08: Software and Data Integrity Failures
+**Mitigation**:
+-  JWT signature verification
+- Foreign key constraints
+- Transaction support (ACID)
+-  Input validation with Pydantic
+-  Implement checksums for uploaded files (recommended)
+
+#### A09: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
+**Recommendations**:
+-  Implement centralized logging (ELK stack)
+-  Log authentication failures
+-  Monitor authorization denials
+-  Alert on suspicious patterns
+- Regular security audit reviews
+
+#### A10: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
+**Mitigation**:
+- Whitelist for external API URLs
+-  No user-controlled URLs in requests
+-  Network isolation for microservices
+-  Implement URL validation (recommended)
+
+### A.2 Secret Management Best Practices
+
+#### Development Environment
+```bash
+# Use .env files (NEVER commit to Git)
+# .env
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:SECURE_PASSWORD@localhost:5432/db
+JWT_SECRET=CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY_RANDOM_STRING_32_BYTES_MINIMUM
+```
+
+#### Production Environment
+**DO NOT use .env files in production!**
+
+**Option 1: AWS Secrets Manager**
+```python
+import boto3
+import json
+
+def get_secret(secret_name):
+    client = boto3.client('secretsmanager', region_name='us-east-1')
+    response = client.get_secret_value(SecretId=secret_name)
+    return json.loads(response['SecretString'])
+
+# Usage
+secrets = get_secret('afl-vision/production')
+JWT_SECRET = secrets['JWT_SECRET']
+```
+
+**Option 2: Azure Key Vault**
+```python
+from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
+from azure.keyvault.secrets import SecretClient
+
+credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
+client = SecretClient(vault_url="https://afl-vision.vault.azure.net", credential=credential)
+JWT_SECRET = client.get_secret("JWT-SECRET").value
+```
+
+**Option 3: Kubernetes Secrets**
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Secret
+metadata:
+  name: afl-vision-secrets
+type: Opaque
+stringData:
+  JWT_SECRET: <base64-encoded-secret>
+  DATABASE_PASSWORD: <base64-encoded-password>
+```
+
+### A.3 Password Security Policy
+
+**Minimum Requirements** (Recommended for Production):
+- Minimum length: 12 characters
+- At least one uppercase letter
+- At least one lowercase letter
+- At least one number
+- At least one special character
+- Not in common password dictionary
+- Not similar to username/email
+
+**Implementation Example**:
+```python
+import re
+from passlib.context import CryptContext
+
+pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"], deprecated="auto")
+
+def validate_password_strength(password: str) -> tuple[bool, str]:
+    """Validate password meets security requirements."""
+    if len(password) < 12:
+        return False, "Password must be at least 12 characters"
+    if not re.search(r"[A-Z]", password):
+        return False, "Password must contain uppercase letter"
+    if not re.search(r"[a-z]", password):
+        return False, "Password must contain lowercase letter"
+    if not re.search(r"\d", password):
+        return False, "Password must contain number"
+    if not re.search(r"[!@#$%^&*(),.?\":{}|<>]", password):
+        return False, "Password must contain special character"
+    return True, "Password is strong"
+```
+
+### A.4 API Security Checklist
