Technology demonstrator — it shows what video analysis can do for pedestrian safety. It is NOT official surveillance or law enforcement, imposes no penalties and identifies no persons (faces and plates are blurred). Behavioural readouts are indicative and are verified by humans.

How it works — and what we deliberately do NOT do

  1. Source: a public 24/7 crossing camera. Analysis runs live; the frame exists only in RAM.
  2. Detection: a YOLOX model (Apache-2.0, no AGPL) on CPU finds pedestrians and vehicles.
  3. Privacy: faces and plates are blurred immediately after detection, before anything else.
  4. Tracking: ephemeral in-RAM IDs — we count new pedestrians/vehicles, storing no frames.
  5. Events: when a vehicle and a pedestrian are in the crossing zone at once, we flag a candidate and save a blurred snapshot.
  6. Human verification: users confirm/refute. True accuracy is computed from the votes.

This is a screening tool, not a measurement instrument. Counts are estimates, events are human-confirmed candidates. We never state a "violation rate" as a hard number — see Accuracy.
