wifi-densepose-nn

Multi-backend neural network inference for WiFi-based DensePose estimation.

Overview

wifi-densepose-nn provides the inference engine that maps processed WiFi CSI features to DensePose body surface predictions. It supports three backends -- ONNX Runtime (default), PyTorch via tch-rs, and Candle -- so models can run on CPU, CUDA GPU, or TensorRT depending on the deployment target.

The crate implements two key neural components:

• DensePose Head -- Predicts 24 body part segmentation masks and per-part UV coordinate regression.
• Modality Translator -- Translates CSI feature embeddings into visual feature space, bridging the domain gap between WiFi signals and image-based pose estimation.

Features

• ONNX Runtime backend (default) -- Load and run .onnx models with CPU or GPU execution providers.
• PyTorch backend (tch-backend) -- Native PyTorch inference via libtorch FFI.
• Candle backend (candle-backend) -- Pure-Rust inference with candle-core and candle-nn.
• CUDA acceleration (cuda) -- GPU execution for supported backends.
• TensorRT optimization (tensorrt) -- INT8/FP16 optimized inference via ONNX Runtime.
• Batched inference -- Process multiple CSI frames in a single forward pass.
• Model caching -- Memory-mapped model weights via memmap2.

Feature flags

Flag	Default	Description
onnx	yes	ONNX Runtime backend
tch-backend	no	PyTorch (tch-rs) backend
candle-backend	no	Candle pure-Rust backend

Quick Start

use wifi_densepose_nn::{InferenceEngine, DensePoseConfig, OnnxBackend};

// Create inference engine with ONNX backend
let config = DensePoseConfig::default();
let backend = OnnxBackend::from_file("model.onnx")?;
let engine = InferenceEngine::new(backend, config)?;

// Run inference on a CSI feature tensor
let input = ndarray::Array4::zeros((1, 256, 64, 64));
let output = engine.infer(&input)?;

println!("Body parts: {}", output.body_parts.shape()[1]); // 24
