Vancouver Watching += areas

Vancouver Watching (vanwatch) 🌈 started as a mechanism to ingest images from traffic images in the City of Vancouver and recently evolved into a discover+ingest mechanism for traffic images from any urban area. Here is how,

Type in,

vanwatch list_areas

vanwatch supports two areas: Vancouver and Iran (work in progress). To discover the cameras in an area type in,

vanwatch discover <area>

This command generates a geojson list of the cameras in the area of interest, in the case of Vancouver based on data from opendata.vancouver.ca. You can see this geojson on github:

To ingest from the cameras in an area type in,

vanwatch ingest <area>

After a few minutes of processing,

you receive a folder of the most recent images from the area (example).

Next: Validating vanwatch discover iran.
