📦 Installation via pip

This guide describes how to install MSight using Python packages. This method is ideal for compact edge boxes and rapid prototyping.

🧱 Core Installation (Minimum Setup)

To get started with MSight, install the foundational packages:

pip install msight-base msight-core

This provides the minimum required setup for MSight:

  • 🧱 msight-base

  • Defines fundamental data structures and abstractions

  • Includes road users, points, trajectories, frames

  • Provides core utilities such as trajectory management and visualization

  • ⚙️ msight-core

  • Provides the core roadside infrastructure

  • Sensor data receiving and streaming
  • Pub/Sub communication system
  • Data serialization and pipeline orchestration
  • Cloud integration capabilities
  • V2X communication support

👉 This setup is sufficient for running basic MSight pipelines and infrastructure.

🎥 2D Vision Support (Camera-based Perception)

If your deployment requires camera-based perception (RGB, fisheye, infrared), install:

pip install msight-base msight-core msight-vision

This adds:

  • 🎥 msight-vision

  • Image-based object detection

  • Localization
  • Multi-object tracking
  • State estimation

👉 Required for all 2D sensor processing pipelines.

🛰️ LiDAR Support (3D Perception)

If your deployment includes LiDAR sensors, install:

pip install msight-base msight-core msight-lidar

This adds:

  • 🛰️ msight-lidar

  • 3D perception

  • Point cloud processing
  • BEV-based understanding (planned)

⚠️ Note: msight-lidar is currently under development and may not yet be publicly available.

🧠 Installation Philosophy

MSight follows a modular installation strategy:

  • Install only what you need
  • Keep edge deployments lightweight
  • Enable flexible combinations of sensing modalities
Use Case Installation
Core infrastructure msight-base + msight-core
Camera perception + msight-vision
LiDAR perception + msight-lidar

✅ Verification

After installation, verify your setup:

import msight_base
import msight_core

Optional modules:

import msight_vision
import msight_lidar
