Glasgow CCTV Automated Object Detection counts dataset

The Glasgow CCTV Object Detection dataset provides counts of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles from CCTV cameras located within the Glasgow City Council area. The council has agreed to make this data available as open data under the Open Government Licence. These data are the result of a collaboration between the Glasgow City Council and UBDC. The models they use have been developed using open object detection models developed by UBDC more details can be found here: https://glasgow-cctv.ubdc.ac.uk/docs/overview .

To facilitate access to the data, and to encourage its use in widespread analyses, apps and dashboards, UBDC colleagues developed a RESTful API.

The API provides half an hour counts of pedestrians and vehicles in JSON format, updated once daily since the project started with four cameras on 30th November 2019. The API can be used to obtain:

All counts for all dates and all cameras;

All counts for a specific location/camera;

All counts for a specific time period;

All counts for a location and time period (inclusive);

It is also possible to download all data in CSV format.
