## Statistics Canada Data
The following two sections goes over the Statistics Canada data that was processed at [process-statcan-data-labs](https://github.com/dataforcanada/process-statcan-data-labs) There is still lots of work to do to make it ready for systems.

Look through our [process-statcan-data-labs](https://github.com/dataforcanada/process-statcan-data-labs) repo for the datasets processed. There is still lots of work to do to make it ready for systems.
## Background
{{< callout type="important" >}}
These concepts are key to working with Statistical and Census data from Statistics Canada.
{{< /callout >}}
To work with Census data, you need to look into Statistics Canada's [geographic hiearchy](https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/ref/dict/fig/index-eng.cfm?ID=F1_1) and use the [Census of Population 2021 Dictionary](https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/ref/dict/az/index-eng.cfm) to understand their conceptual model.

## Download and Preview
Below is a table of datasets generated from our current processing pipeline. You can download the raw **Parquet** files directly or use the **Map Preview** links to inspect the data as vector tiles.
### How to use the Map Preview
The map preview allows you to visualize specific census characteristics dynamically. Follow this workflow to verify the data before downloading.
**1. Identify your Characteristic ID**
Census variables are mapped using numeric IDs. Consult the **[Characteristic ID Reference Sheet](https://1drv.ms/x/c/d42308bcd3b7a4a1/ESlrAmKqXp9BnsMXqurcB0sB9qy1r2-ZV8tCL9nCns_Mpg?e=8qIroJ)** to find the ID for the data you want to view.
* *Example:* The ID for "Number of COVID-19 emergency and recovery benefits recipients..." is **124**.
**2. Open the Preview**
Click the link in the **Dataset ID & Preview** column for your desired geographic level (e.g., Provinces, Federal Electoral Districts).
**3. Filter by Attribute**
In the top-right "Search fields" box, enter the attribute key using the format `{gender}_{ID}`:
* **Total:** Enter `total_124`
* **Male:** Enter `men_124`
* **Female:** Enter `women_124`
**4. Update the Map**
Click the **"Recalculate Classes"** button. This will refresh the map legend and choropleth coloring based on the currently visible extent.
{{< callout type="info">}}
**Note on Data Availability:** Dissemination blocks currently only contain these **[3 specific characteristics](https://github.com/dataforcanada/process-statcan-data-labs/issues/6)**.
{{< /callout >}}
{{< callout type="note">}}
**Credit:**
* The location search functionality in our map previews is powered by the **[PHAC Geocoder](https://geocoder.alpha.phac.gc.ca/)**.
* The basemaps is generously served through [OpenFreeMap](https://openfreemap.org/).

## The Mission
Commercial street-level imagery is often locked behind restrictive licenses, proprietary viewers, and paywalls, making it inaccessible to our target audience. We are building a sovereign, open-source alternative for Canada.
By self-hosting a **[Panoramax](https://panoramax.fr/)** instance, we provide a decentralized platform where field imagery is treated as a public utility: fully downloadable, API-accessible, and privacy-compliant.
## The Infrastructure
Our field imagery pipeline is built on the **Panoramax** ecosystem, a federated open-source alternative to Google Street View that guarantees data permanence and open access.
* **Storage**: High-performance object storage backend for hosting terabytes of 360° and flat field imagery.
* **Federation**: Our instance connects to the global Panoramax federation, ensuring that while the data is hosted in Canada, it is discoverable worldwide through the global panoramax catalog.
## The Processing Pipeline
We treat field imagery as a data engineering challenge, ensuring "time-to-insight" is minimized for downstream users.
1. **Ingestion**: Raw imagery is captured using diverse hardware (ex. 360° cameras, mobile rigs, meta glasses, etc.) and ingested by our systems.
2. **Privacy & Anonymization**: Before publication, all imagery undergoes a rigorous privacy scrub. We utilize automated detection pipelines to blur faces and license plates, ensuring compliance with Canadian privacy standards while maintaining data utility.
3. **Standardization**: Images are processed into systems-ready formats, making it ready for analysis.
4. **Metadata Extraction**: We extract and normalize/strip identifiying information (ex. EXIF and GPS telemetry), indexing it into a **[FAIR Catalogue](https://stac-utils.github.io/stac-geoparquet/latest/spec/stac-geoparquet-spec/)**.
## Data Products
Unlike commercial platforms that only offer a "view" of the data, we provide the **data itself**.
* **API Access**: Full programmatic access via the Panoramax REST API for querying imagery by location, date, or sequence.
* **Bulk Datasets**: Curated dumps of street-level imagery available for computer vision training, asset management, and change detection models.
* **[FAIR Data Catalogue](https://stac-utils.github.io/stac-geoparquet/latest/spec/stac-geoparquet-spec/) Integration**: Seamless integration with geospatial workflows (ex. DuckDB, QGIS, Python, R, Julia, etc.).

# Orthoimagery Process Labs
Look through our [process-orthoimagery-labs](https://github.com/dataforcanada/process-orthoimagery-labs) repo for the datasets processed and datasets currently being acquired. There is still lots of work to do to make it ready for systems. While the data processing workflow is still under development, you can [preview sample datasets](#download-and-preview) below.
## Development Environment
Although we prioritize open-source tools, we currently use [MapTiler Engine Pro](https://www.maptiler.com/engine/pricing) because it outperforms available open-source alternatives for this specific workflow.
## Specifications of Tile Packages
The specifications for the tile packages are defined in this code.

## The Plan
The objective is to standardize the source datasets used by Data for Canada processes. For instance, Vancouver’s orthoimagery is currently distributed in proprietary formats (MrSID and ECW) that require specialized drivers. We are currently evaluating open alternatives, such as [Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs](https://cogeo.org/), while ensuring that the conversion process preserves full visual fidelity. Future iterations will also explore the integration of multispectral data.
