Pipeline

Frame → event → portal.

Six stages, all on-device until the highlight clip — and that only leaves the phone if the family says yes.

  1. step 01
    AVCaptureSession
    Tee the buffer · live analyzer + record
  2. step 02
    VNImageRequestHandler
    Run pose + trajectory on a serial queue
  3. step 03
    Ring buffer · 3 s
    Backread for release frame on confirm
  4. step 04
    CoreML classifier
    Per-sport model emits the event + confidence
  5. step 05
    Auto-edit · 8 s clip
    Around the apex frame, verdict overlay
  6. step 06
