# Traffic Image Data Extraction Through Singapore Government API

## Description

This dataset compiles a comprehensive image dataset from traffic cameras across Singapore, utilizing the real-time API provided by the Singapore government for the period of January 2024 from 6 pm to 7 pm each day.

## Use Cases

The dataset serves as a versatile resource for multiple applications, including but not limited to:

### Object Detection
- Train object detection models to identify vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects within traffic images.

### Traffic Trend Analysis
- Conduct time-series analysis to discern traffic patterns, peak times, congestion areas, and insights for infrastructure improvements.

### Road Safety Assessment
- Apply computer vision algorithms to evaluate road safety, spotting potential hazards, unusual conditions, or traffic rule violations to bolster road safety and intelligent transportation systems.

## Dataset Details

The dataset encompasses detailed information for each traffic camera image, structured as follows:

- **Timestamp**: Date and time the image was captured.
- **Camera_ID**: A unique identifier for each traffic camera.
- **Latitude**: Geographic latitude of the camera location.
- **Longitude**: Geographic longitude of the camera location.
- **Image_URL**: Direct URL to the traffic image.
- **Image_Metadata**: Contains image metadata including dimensions, format (PNG/JPEG), bits per pixel, color information, and MD5 hash.
