### 56-Subcarrier Hardware Context
The system targets 56 subcarriers, which corresponds specifically to **Atheros 802.11n
chipsets on a 20 MHz channel** using the Atheros CSI Tool. No publicly available
dataset with paired pose annotations was collected at exactly 56 subcarriers:
| Hardware | Subcarriers | Datasets |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| Atheros CSI Tool (20 MHz) | **56** | None with pose labels |
| Atheros CSI Tool (40 MHz) | **114** | MM-Fi |
| Intel 5300 NIC (20 MHz) | **30** | Person-in-WiFi, Widar 3.0, Wi-Pose, XRF55 |
| Nexmon/Broadcom (80 MHz) | **242-256** | None with pose labels |
MM-Fi uses the same Atheros hardware family at 40 MHz, making 114→56 interpolation
physically meaningful (same chipset, different channel width).

only skeleton keypoints are available.

### Secondary Dataset: XRF55 **Antenna correction:** MM-Fi uses 1 TX / 3 RX (3 antenna pairs), not 3×3.
The existing system targets 3×3 (ESP32 mesh). The 3 RX antennas match; the TX
difference means MM-Fi-trained weights will work but may benefit from fine-tuning
on data from a 3-TX setup.

## Implementation Plan ## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: MM-Fi Loader ### Phase 1: MM-Fi Loader (Rust `wifi-densepose-train` crate)
Implement a `PyTorch Dataset` class that: Implement `MmFiDataset` in Rust (`crates/wifi-densepose-train/src/dataset.rs`):
- Reads MM-Fi's HDF5/numpy CSI files - Reads MM-Fi numpy .npy files: amplitude [N, 3, 3, 114] (antenna-pairs laid flat), phase [N, 3, 3, 114]
- Resamples from 114 subcarriers → 56 subcarriers (linear interpolation along - Resamples from 114 → 56 subcarriers (linear interpolation via `subcarrier.rs`)
frequency axis) to match the existing `CSIProcessor` config - Applies phase sanitization using SOTA algorithms from `wifi-densepose-signal` crate
- Normalizes amplitude and unwraps phase using the existing `PhaseSanitizer` - Returns typed `CsiSample` structs with amplitude, phase, keypoints, visibility
- Returns `(amplitude, phase, keypoints_17)` tuples - Validation split: subjects 3340 held out
### Phase 2: Teacher-Student Labels ### Phase 2: Wi-Pose Loader
For samples where only skeleton keypoints are available (not full DensePose UV maps): Implement `WiPoseDataset` reading .mat files (via ndarray-based MATLAB reader or
- Run Detectron2 DensePose on the paired RGB frames to generate `(part_labels, pre-converted .npy). Subcarrier interpolation: 30 → 56 (zero-pad high frequencies
u_coords, v_coords)` pseudo-labels rather than interpolate, since 30-sub Intel data has different spectral occupancy
- Cache generated labels to avoid recomputation during training epochs than 56-sub Atheros data).
- This matches the training procedure in the original CMU paper
### Phase 3: Training Pipeline ### Phase 3: Teacher-Student DensePose Labels
- **Loss:** Combined keypoint heatmap loss (MSE) + DensePose part classification For MM-Fi samples that provide 3D keypoints but not full DensePose UV maps:
(cross-entropy) + UV regression (Smooth L1) + transfer loss against teacher - Run Detectron2 DensePose on paired RGB frames to generate `(part_labels, u_coords, v_coords)`
RGB backbone features - Cache generated labels as .npy alongside original data
- **Optimizer:** Adam, lr=1e-3, milestones at 48k and 96k steps (paper schedule) - This matches the training procedure in the CMU paper exactly
### Phase 4: Training Pipeline (Rust)
- **Model:** `WiFiDensePoseModel` (tch-rs, `crates/wifi-densepose-train/src/model.rs`)
- **Loss:** Keypoint heatmap (MSE) + DensePose part (cross-entropy) + UV (Smooth L1) + transfer (MSE)
- **Metrics:** PCK@0.2 + OKS with Hungarian min-cost assignment (`crates/wifi-densepose-train/src/metrics.rs`)
- **Optimizer:** Adam, lr=1e-3, step decay at epochs 40 and 80
- **Hardware:** Single GPU (RTX 3090 or A100); MM-Fi fits in ~50 GB disk - **Hardware:** Single GPU (RTX 3090 or A100); MM-Fi fits in ~50 GB disk
- **Checkpointing:** Save every epoch; keep best-by-validation-PCK - **Checkpointing:** Save every epoch; keep best-by-validation-PCK
### Phase 4: Evaluation ### Phase 5: Proof Verification
- **Keypoints:** PCK@0.2 (Percentage of Correct Keypoints within 20% of torso size) `verify-training` binary provides the "trust kill switch" for training:
- **DensePose:** GPS (Geodesic Point Similarity) and GPSM with segmentation mask - Fixed seed (MODEL_SEED=0, PROOF_SEED=42)
- **Held-out split:** MM-Fi subjects 33-40 (20%) for validation; no test-set leakage - 50 training steps on deterministic SyntheticDataset
- Verifies: loss decreases + SHA-256 of final weights matches stored hash
- EXIT 0 = PASS, EXIT 1 = FAIL, EXIT 2 = SKIP (no stored hash)
