An enterprise-grade system for vehicle detection, data preprocessing, and advanced collision intelligence analytics with heat-map visualization.

IMPORTANT: This repository is proprietary and for exclusive use by CoreframeAI. Unauthorized use, distribution, or modification is strictly prohibited.

System Components

This repository contains two integrated systems:

1. Data Cleanup Pipeline: A robust preprocessing system for dataset optimization
2. Collision Intelligence System: Production-ready collision detection and analytics

Data Cleanup Pipeline

A fail-fast preprocessing system that:

• Uses gold-standard images as class anchors
• Filters noisy images for wrong labels, low quality, and feature mismatch
• Ensures only high-quality data enters the training pipeline

Collision Intelligence System

An enterprise-grade collision detection system that:

• Uses optimized centroid-based detection with resolution-aware thresholds
• Implements DBSCAN clustering for hotspot identification
• Provides heat-map visualization of near-miss patterns
• Includes structured logging for monitoring and CI/CD integration

Modular Frontend (New)

A modern, maintainable web interface that:

• Follows a modular architecture with clean separation of concerns
• Organizes code into logical modules with single responsibilities
• Uses ES modules for better dependency management
• Implements BEM naming conventions for CSS
• Provides a responsive, accessible user interface
• Supports Vite for optimized bundling and development

Unified Collision Tool (New)

A comprehensive command-line tool that unifies multiple detection algorithms:

Basic Tier Methods:

• standard: Basic IoU-based collision detection
• safety: Focused on pedestrian/vehicle interactions
• quick: Rapid validation of detection pipeline

Advanced Tier Methods:

• enhanced: Higher accuracy collision detection with multi-model approach
• centroid: Proximity-based detection with heatmap generation
• tracking: Advanced object tracking across frames

Admin Tier Methods:

Configuration

Data Cleanup Pipeline

Edit data_cleanup/assets/config.json to configure:

• Detection thresholds
• CLIP similarity thresholds
• Quality filter parameters
• OCR verification settings

Collision Intelligence System

Edit tools/collision_config.py to configure:

• Detection thresholds
• Proximity thresholds
• Cooldown duration
• Clustering parameters

API Endpoints

The collision detection API provides the following endpoints:

• POST /api/upload: Upload a video for processing
• GET /api/status/{job_id}: Check processing status
• GET /api/results/{job_id}: Get processing results
• GET /api/results/{job_id}/{filename}: Get specific result file

Privacy & Ethics

• The system is designed with privacy in mind
• No PII is stored or processed without explicit consent
• The pipeline stores only hashes of license plate text, never raw PII
• Discarded images are logged by path only, not copied
• Toggle LOG_RAW_CROPS=false to disable sensitive artifact dumps
• For collision detection, even centroids can re-identify when combined with timestamps; hash track IDs and purge logs >30 days
• Schedule quarterly bias audits to prevent detection bias with different camera viewpoints
