# Traffic Image Data Extraction Through Singapore Government API

## Description

The Singapore government offers real-time images from traffic cameras across the nation through its API. This dataset compiles a comprehensive image dataset in the form of a DataFrame by extracting data for the month of January 2024 from 6 pm to 7 pm each day using the API.

## Use Cases

The resulting dataset will facilitate easy integration into various use cases including:

### Object Detection
Utilize the dataset for training object detection models to identify and analyze vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects in the traffic images.

### Traffic Trend Analysis
Leverage time-series analysis to identify and analyze traffic trends over specific periods. This can provide valuable insights into peak traffic times, congestion patterns, and potential areas for infrastructure improvement.

### Road Safety Assessment
Implement computer vision algorithms to assess road safety by analyzing traffic images for potential hazards, unusual road conditions, or non-compliance with traffic rules. This use case aims to enhance road safety monitoring and contribute to the development of intelligent transportation systems.

## Dataset Details

The dataset will comprise the following columns:

- **Timestamp**: Date and time of the image acquisition from LTA's Datamall.
- **Camera_ID**: Unique identifier assigned by LTA to each traffic camera.
- **Latitude**: Geographic coordinate of the camera's location (latitude).
- **Longitude**: Geographic coordinate of the camera's location (longitude).
- **Image_URL**: The traffic image fetched from the Image_URL provided by the API.
- **Image_Metadata**: Metadata of the image file including height, width, and MD5 hash.

## Limitations of my Dataset

The Dataset due to limited computational capability has data of only one month and 1 hour for each day.
Fetching large data (such as a year) would help in analysing the macro trends and significant patterns.

## API Documentation

For more details on accessing the traffic camera images, visit the [API Documentation](https://beta.data.gov.sg/collections/354).

## Use Case

Refer to the attached traffic_object_detection.py file to understand how this dataset can be used for analysis and object detection.
