After external IPEX antennas were added to the ESP32-S3 mesh nodes, a confirmed-empty room read "present" indefinitely. Two root-cause bugs: 1. motion_score saturation. `variance_motion` and `mbp_motion` used fixed divisors (/10, /25) calibrated for the antenna-less regime. Antennas raised amplitudes ~5x and these amplitude^2 energies ~30x, pinning both terms at the 1.0 clamp — so raw_motion could not fall near the presence floor and the adaptive baseline subtraction in smooth_and_classify was defeated. Normalize both by signal power (mean_amp^2) — the same dimensionless sqrt-of-power-ratio form already used by temporal_motion_score — making motion_score amplitude-scale-invariant. This fixes the single shared extract_features_from_frame used by BOTH the aggregate and the per-node paths, so room-level presence benefits too. (csi.rs carries the identical change in its dead mirror copy to keep the two in sync.) 2. parse_esp32_frame header offsets were 2 bytes early vs the firmware layout (csi_collector.c csi_serialize_frame: seq @ [12..16), rssi @ [16], noise_floor @ [17]). rssi was decoded from sequence-counter byte 2 — which stays 0 for the first 65,536 frames — yielding an impossible rssi=0 dBm that zeroed the RSSI fusion weights and the SNR-based signal_quality. The I/Q payload at byte 20 was already correct (CSI_HEADER_SIZE == 20), so amplitude-derived features were unaffected. Adds regression tests asserting motion_score is amplitude-scale-invariant and that a quiet high-amplitude signal does not saturate. Full binary suite green (103 tests). Validated live on the 2-node mesh: RSSI now reports real values (-28..-74 dBm, was 0) and an empty room now produces genuine low-motion frames. A residual over-read remains (real multi-subcarrier CSI reads elevated even when empty) — that intrinsic empty-vs- still ambiguity needs a learned reference (adaptive classifier retrain), tracked separately.

wifi-densepose-sensing-server
Lightweight Axum server for real-time WiFi sensing with RuVector signal processing.
Overview
wifi-densepose-sensing-server is the operational backend for WiFi-DensePose. It receives raw CSI
frames from ESP32 hardware over UDP, runs them through the RuVector-powered signal processing
pipeline, and broadcasts processed sensing updates to browser clients via WebSocket. A built-in
static file server hosts the sensing UI on the same port.
The crate ships both a library (wifi_densepose_sensing_server) exposing the training and inference
modules, and a binary (sensing-server) that starts the full server stack.
Integrates wifi-densepose-wifiscan for multi-BSSID WiFi scanning per ADR-022 Phase 3.
Features
- UDP CSI ingestion -- Receives ESP32 CSI frames on port 5005 and parses them into the internal
CsiFramerepresentation. - Vital sign detection -- Pure-Rust FFT-based breathing rate (0.1--0.5 Hz) and heart rate (0.67--2.0 Hz) estimation from CSI amplitude time series (ADR-021).
- RVF container -- Standalone binary container format for packaging model weights, metadata, and
configuration into a single
.rvffile with 64-byte aligned segments. - RVF pipeline -- Progressive model loading with streaming segment decoding.
- Graph Transformer -- Cross-attention bottleneck between antenna-space CSI features and the
COCO 17-keypoint body graph, followed by GCN message passing (ADR-023 Phase 2). Pure
std, no ML dependencies. - SONA adaptation -- LoRA + EWC++ online adaptation for environment drift without catastrophic forgetting (ADR-023 Phase 5).
- Contrastive CSI embeddings -- Self-supervised SimCLR-style pretraining with InfoNCE loss, projection head, fingerprint indexing, and cross-modal pose alignment (ADR-024).
- Sparse inference -- Activation profiling, sparse matrix-vector multiply, INT8/FP16 quantization, and a full sparse inference engine for edge deployment (ADR-023 Phase 6).
- Dataset pipeline -- Training dataset loading and batching.
- Multi-BSSID scanning -- Windows
netshintegration for BSSID discovery viawifi-densepose-wifiscan(ADR-022). - WebSocket broadcast -- Real-time sensing updates pushed to all connected clients at
ws://localhost:8765/ws/sensing. - Static file serving -- Hosts the sensing UI on port 8080 with CORS headers.

Quick Start
# Build the server
cargo build -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server
# Run with default settings (HTTP :8080, UDP :5005, WS :8765)
cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server
# Run with custom ports
cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server -- \
--http-port 9000 \
--udp-port 5005 \
--static-dir ./ui
Using as a library
use wifi_densepose_sensing_server::vital_signs::VitalSignDetector;
// Create a detector with 20 Hz sample rate
let mut detector = VitalSignDetector::new(20.0);
// Feed CSI amplitude samples
for amplitude in csi_amplitudes.iter() {
detector.push_sample(*amplitude);
}
// Extract vital signs
if let Some(vitals) = detector.detect() {
println!("Breathing: {:.1} BPM", vitals.breathing_rate_bpm);
println!("Heart rate: {:.0} BPM", vitals.heart_rate_bpm);
