# 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. |
|
|
|
Below are sample images from the dataset: |
|
|
|
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around;"> |
|
<img src="76.jpg" alt="Sample image from the data" width="600"/> |
|
<img src="61.jpg" alt="Sample image from the data" width="600"/> |
|
</div> |
|
|
|
|
|
## 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. |
