atlantes-cpd

Online changepoint detection for AIS tracks. A changepoint marks where a track should be split into a new subpath, which lets downstream inference run only when a vessel's behavior may have changed. The detector is served over gRPC as atlanteschangepoint.ChangepointService.

This is a standalone package. It does not import atlantes and has its own dependencies, tests, Dockerfile, and CI workflow (.github/workflows/cpd.yml).

Develop

cd cpd
python -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install -e '.[dev]'
venv/bin/pytest tests --ignore=tests/integration/serve

The detector integration tests read three AIS track CSVs from tests/data/ (or $CPD_TEST_DATA_DIR); they skip when the files are absent. The tracks are licensed and must not be committed; tests/data/*.csv is gitignored.

Run the service

docker compose up --build

Configuration comes from environment variables:

With the service running, CPD_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 venv/bin/pytest tests/integration/serve exercises it end to end.

Tuning

Detection thresholds live in src/atlantes_cpd/constants.py.

Regenerating the gRPC code

Release to PyPI

The package publishes to PyPI as atlantes-cpd through trusted publishing; no API token is involved.

The repo has a single version, in the VERSION file at the repo root. cpd/VERSION is a symlink to it, and pyproject.toml reads it. A v<version> tag releases the whole repo, and atlantes-cpd is one of the artifacts.

1. Set VERSION and merge it.
2. Create a GitHub release with the tag v<version> (for example v1.1.0) and publish it. Drafts and pre-releases don't trigger the workflow.
3. .github/workflows/publish_cpd.yml checks that the tag matches VERSION, builds the sdist and wheel, and uploads them from the pypi environment.
