julian 6933406ae3 feat(vision): scaffold apps/vision ANPR microservice (FastAPI, stub recognizer)
Skeleton of the host-side vision service per the packaging decision: a Python/FastAPI
app at apps/vision/, uv-managed, wired into the Turbo graph via a thin package.json
shim (dev/lint/test/build → uv/uvicorn/ruff/pytest). A per-package turbo.json sets
build outputs [] so the no-op build is warning-free.

Endpoints: GET /health (readiness + model version) and POST /analyze (raw
octet-stream body, so Node POSTs Snapshot.bytes directly; empty→400, oversize→413,
recognizer-not-ready→503). The recognizer is a Protocol with a StubRecognizer (no
models, boots/tests offline — the dev/CI default) and a FastAlprRecognizer (the real
MIT YOLOv9+CCT/ONNX stack, lazily imported; missing models ⇒ ready=False, not a crash)
— the device-adapter pattern applied to the model. fast-alpr + onnxruntime are an
optional `alpr` extra, so `uv sync` needs no model download.

Verified: turbo run lint|test|build includes @parking/vision and stays green; uv run
mypy strict-clean; uvicorn boots and serves /health + /analyze live; pnpm workspace
6→7. Not built yet: the Node VisionClient adapter, a Dockerfile + model fetch, and
Job 2 (vehicle verification). Updates the packaging decision (As-scaffolded) + log.

@parking/vision — host-side ANPR / vehicle-verification service

A separate process (Python + FastAPI) the Node backend calls over localhost HTTP with a camera snapshot, returning a licence-plate read (and, later, vehicle-attribute verification — the anti-plate-spoofing witness). Recognition is advisory, never the sole authority to open a barrier: if this service is down or unsure, the host falls back to the ticket path.

Lives inside the Turborepo at apps/vision/ but is not a JS package — Python deps are managed by uv/pyproject.toml; the package.json is a thin shim so turbo run lint/test includes it. See wiki/decisions/vision-service-packaging.md and wiki/entities/opencv-anpr-service.md.

Run

# from apps/vision/ — install the light core (boots in stub mode, no model downloads)
uv sync

# dev server with reload (or: pnpm --filter @parking/vision dev)
uv run uvicorn vision_service.app:app --reload --port 8089

# checks
uv run ruff check .
uv run pytest -q

Enable the real recognizer (fast-alpr)

uv sync --extra alpr                 # installs fast-alpr + onnxruntime (downloads model weights)
VISION_RECOGNIZER=fast_alpr uv run uvicorn vision_service.app:app --port 8089

fast-alpr is MIT (YOLOv9 detector + CCT OCR on ONNX Runtime). Swap VISION_OCR_MODEL to the 40+ country European model to benchmark Albanian plates. For GPU/NPU, install onnxruntime-gpu / -openvino / -directml instead of onnxruntime.

API

  • GET /health → { status, recognizer, ready, model_version, detail? }
  • POST /analyze (body = raw image bytes, Content-Type: application/octet-stream) → { plate: {text, confidence, bbox}|null, plates[], vehicle: null, low_confidence, model_version, took_ms }

The Node side POSTs Snapshot.bytes directly (no multipart). vehicle is scaffolded but not yet populated — fast-alpr is plate-only; the vehicle stage (Job 2) is built later on the same runtime.
