# Detector Worker Refactoring Plan ## Project Overview Transform the current monolithic structure (~4000 lines across `app.py` and `siwatsystem/pympta.py`) into a modular, maintainable system with clear separation of concerns. The goal is to make the sophisticated computer vision pipeline easily understandable for other engineers while maintaining all existing functionality. ## Current System Flow Understanding ### Validated System Flow 1. **WebSocket Connection** → Backend connects and sends `setSubscriptionList` 2. **Model Management** → Download unique `.mpta` files to `models/` and extract 3. **Tracking Phase** → Continuous tracking with `front_rear_detection_v1.pt` 4. **Validation Phase** → Validate stable car (not just passing by) 5. **Pipeline Execution** → - Detect car with `yolo11m.pt` - **Branch 1**: Front/rear detection → crop frontal → save to Redis + brand classification - **Branch 2**: Body type classification from car crop 6. **Communication** → Send `imageDetection` → Backend generates `sessionId` → Fueling starts 7. **Post-Fueling** → Backend clears `sessionId` → Continue tracking same car to avoid re-pipeline ### Core Responsibilities Identified 1. **WebSocket Communication** - Message handling and protocol compliance 2. **Stream Management** - RTSP/HTTP frame processing and buffering 3. **Model Management** - MPTA download, extraction, and loading 4. **Pipeline Configuration** - Parse `pipeline.json` and setup execution flow 5. **Vehicle Tracking** - Continuous tracking and car identification 6. **Validation Logic** - Stable car detection vs. passing-by cars 7. **Detection Pipeline** - Main ML pipeline with parallel branches 8. **Data Persistence** - Redis/PostgreSQL operations 9. **Session Management** - Handle session IDs and lifecycle ## Proposed Directory Structure ``` core/ ├── communication/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── websocket.py # WebSocket message handling & protocol │ ├── messages.py # Message types and validation │ ├── models.py # Message data structures │ └── state.py # Worker state management ├── streaming/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── manager.py # Stream coordination and lifecycle │ ├── readers.py # RTSP/HTTP frame readers │ └── buffers.py # Frame buffering and caching ├── models/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── manager.py # MPTA download and model loading │ ├── pipeline.py # Pipeline.json parser and config │ └── inference.py # YOLO model wrapper and optimization ├── tracking/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── tracker.py # Vehicle tracking with front_rear_detection_v1 │ ├── validator.py # Stable car validation logic │ └── integration.py # Tracking-pipeline integration ├── detection/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── pipeline.py # Main detection pipeline orchestration │ └── branches.py # Parallel branch processing (brand/bodytype) └── storage/ ├── __init__.py ├── redis.py # Redis operations and image storage └── database.py # PostgreSQL operations (existing -
