WiFi DensePose

Hardware Required: This system processes real WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) data. To capture live CSI you need one of:

Option	Hardware	Cost	Capabilities
ESP32 Mesh (recommended)	3-6x ESP32-S3 boards + consumer WiFi router	~$54	Presence, motion, respiration detection
Research NIC	Intel 5300 or Atheros AR9580 (discontinued)	~$50-100	Full CSI with 3x3 MIMO
Commodity WiFi	Any Linux laptop with WiFi	$0	Presence and coarse motion only (RSSI-based)

Without CSI-capable hardware, you can verify the signal processing pipeline using the included deterministic reference signal: python v1/data/proof/verify.py

See docs/adr/ADR-012-esp32-csi-sensor-mesh.md for the ESP32 setup guide and docs/adr/ADR-013-feature-level-sensing-commodity-gear.md for the zero-cost RSSI path.

📡 WiFi Scan Domain Layer (ADR-022)

wifi-densepose-wifiscan: Multi-BSSID WiFi scanning domain layer for enhanced Windows WiFi sensing (ADR-022). Features an 8-stage pure-Rust signal intelligence pipeline: predictive gating, attention weighting, spatial correlation, motion estimation, breathing extraction, quality gating, fingerprint matching, and orchestration. Transforms multi-AP RSSI data into presence, motion, breathing rate, and posture estimates.

Stage	Purpose
Predictive Gating	Pre-filter scan results using temporal prediction
Attention Weighting	Weight BSSIDs by signal relevance
Spatial Correlation	Cross-AP spatial signal correlation

Orchestration	Fuse all stages into unified sensing output

Build & Test:

cd rust-port/wifi-densepose-rs
cargo test -p wifi-densepose-wifiscan

See ADR-022 for the full pipeline design.

📦 RVF Model Container Format

The RuVector Format (RVF) packages model weights, HNSW index, metadata, and WASM runtime into a single .rvf file for portable, single-file deployment.

Property	Detail
Format	Segment-based binary (magic 0x52564653) with 64-byte segment headers
Progressive Loading	Layer A in <5ms (entry points), Layer B in 100ms-1s (hot adjacency), Layer C (full graph)
Signing	Ed25519-signed training proofs for verifiable provenance
Quantization	Temperature-tiered (f32/f16/u8) via rvf-quant with SIMD distance
CLI Flags	--export-rvf, --save-rvf, --load-rvf, --model for model persistence

An RVF container is a self-contained artifact: no external model files, no Python runtime, no pip dependencies. Load it on any host with the Rust binary.

See ADR-023 for the full trained DensePose pipeline.

🧬 Training and Fine-Tuning

The DensePose model uses a three-tier data strategy:

1. Pre-train on public datasets (MM-Fi, Wi-Pose) for cross-environment generalization. These provide paired WiFi CSI + camera pose labels across diverse environments and subjects.
2. Fine-tune with self-collected ESP32 data using a camera-based teacher model to generate pseudo-labels. Environment-specific multipath patterns are learned at this stage.
3. SONA runtime adaptation via micro-LoRA + EWC++ for continuous on-device learning. The model adapts to furniture changes, new occupants, and seasonal RF propagation shifts without retraining from scratch.

# Pre-train on MM-Fi dataset
cargo run -p wifi-densepose-train -- \
  --dataset mmfi --epochs 100 --lr 1e-3

# Fine-tune with local ESP32 captures
cargo run -p wifi-densepose-train -- \
  --dataset local --fine-tune --base-model pretrained.rvf \
  --epochs 20 --lr 1e-4 --save-rvf finetuned.rvf

# Enable SONA runtime adaptation (in sensing server)
./target/release/sensing-server --source esp32 --load-rvf finetuned.rvf --sona-adapt

📦 Installation

Guided Installer (Recommended)

The interactive installer detects your hardware, checks your environment, and builds the right profile automatically:

./install.sh

It walks through 7 steps:

1. System detection — OS, RAM, disk, GPU
2. Toolchain detection — Python, Rust, Docker, Node.js, ESP-IDF
3. WiFi hardware detection — interfaces, ESP32 USB, Intel CSI debug
4. Profile recommendation — picks the best profile for your hardware
5. Dependency installation — installs what's missing
6. Build — compiles the selected profile
7. Summary — shows next steps and verification commands

Install Profiles

🔧 Hardware Setup

Supported Hardware

WiFi DensePose works with standard WiFi equipment that supports CSI extraction:

Recommended Routers

• ASUS AX6000 (RT-AX88U) - Excellent CSI quality
• Netgear Nighthawk AX12 - High performance
• TP-Link Archer AX73 - Budget-friendly option
• Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Pro - Enterprise grade

CSI-Capable Devices

• Intel WiFi cards (5300, 7260, 8260, 9260)
• Atheros AR9300 series
• Broadcom BCM4366 series
• Qualcomm QCA9984 series

Physical Setup

1. Router Placement: Position routers to create overlapping coverage areas
2. Height: Mount routers 2-3 meters high for optimal coverage
3. Spacing: 5-10 meter spacing between routers depending on environment
4. Orientation: Ensure antennas are positioned for maximum signal diversity

Network Configuration

# Configure WiFi interface for CSI extraction
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel 6

# Set up CSI extraction (Intel 5300 example)
echo 0x4101 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlwifi/iwldvm/debug/monitor_tx_rate

Environment Calibration

from wifi_densepose import Calibrator

# Run environment calibration
calibrator = Calibrator()
calibrator.calibrate_environment(
    duration_minutes=10,
    environment_id="room_001"
)

# Apply calibration
calibrator.apply_calibration()
