+# Traffic Image Data Extraction Through Singapore Government API
+
+## Description
+
+The Singapore government offers real-time images from traffic cameras across the nation through its API. This dataset compiles a comprehensive image dataset in the form of a DataFrame by extracting data for the month of January 2024 from 6 pm to 7 pm each day using the API.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+The resulting dataset will facilitate easy integration into various use cases including:
+
+### Object Detection
+Utilize the dataset for training object detection models to identify and analyze vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects in the traffic images.
+
+### Traffic Trend Analysis
+Leverage time-series analysis to identify and analyze traffic trends over specific periods. This can provide valuable insights into peak traffic times, congestion patterns, and potential areas for infrastructure improvement.
+
+### Road Safety Assessment
+Implement computer vision algorithms to assess road safety by analyzing traffic images for potential hazards, unusual road conditions, or non-compliance with traffic rules. This use case aims to enhance road safety monitoring and contribute to the development of intelligent transportation systems.
+
+## Dataset Details
+
+The dataset will comprise the following columns:
+
+- **Timestamp**: Date and time of the image acquisition from LTA's Datamall.
+- **Camera_ID**: Unique identifier assigned by LTA to each traffic camera.
+- **Latitude**: Geographic coordinate of the camera's location (latitude).
+- **Longitude**: Geographic coordinate of the camera's location (longitude).
+- **Image_URL**: URL providing direct access to the captured traffic image.
+- **Image_Metadata**: Metadata of the image file including height, width, and MD5 hash.
