CityLens

CityLens is a service for capturing and processing images that allows you to:

• Get an image in driving mode through the mobile app.
• Process images, detect incidents and classify them using AI Computer Vision algorithms.
• Plan tasks for covering territories, analyze the results, and make reports.

Architecture

CityLens consists of the following components:

• Mobile Application — application for collecting tracks and frames.
• CityLens API — API for transferring data from external applications to Kafka and proxying requests from the mobile application.
• CityLens Routes API — API for creating driving tasks and building routes for them.
• CityLens Routes worker — service for internal planning operations: reading from Kafka, analyzing task completion, and sending results to other services (Urbi Pro).
• CityLens Routes UI — React-based web application for managing tasks (Planner). Interacts with CityLens Routes API via HTTP.
• CityLens Web — web-based dashboard for managing detailed information on tasks, drivers, detections, and more.

Dependencies

Shared infrastructure:

• Apache Kafka — data storage for storing events, related to API keys.
• PostgreSQL — data storage for tasks.
• S3 storage — frames data storage.

On-Premise services:
