### The Mission
|

## The Mission
|
||||
|
||||
Commercial street-level imagery is often locked behind restrictive licenses, proprietary viewers, and paywalls, making it inaccessible for researchers, urban planners, and the general public. 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. Instead of relying on centralized corporate servers, we operate a sovereign instance that guarantees data permanence and open access.

||||
|
||||
* **Platform**: Self-hosted Panoramax instance running on our internal infrastructure.

## 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.

### Data Products
|
||||
## 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.
