-# Ruview
-Perceive the world through signals. No cameras. No wearables. No Internet. Just physics.  π RuView is an edge AI perception system that learns directly from the environment around it.
+# RuView
+
+> **Perceive the world through signals. No cameras. No wearables. No Internet. Just physics.**
+
+RuView is an **edge AI perception system** that learns directly from the environment around it.  Instead of relying on cameras or cloud models, it observes the signals that already fill a space — WiFi, radio waves, motion, vibration — and builds a local understanding of what is happening.
+
+Built on the physics of **Channel State Information (CSI)**, RuView reconstructs **human presence**, **body pose**, **breathing rate**, and **heart rate** in real time using signal processing and machine learning — all running at the edge on hardware as inexpensive as an ESP32 (~$1/node).
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+| Capability | Details |
+|---|---|
+| 🧍 **Presence detection** | Detects human occupancy from CSI variance — no motion trigger needed |
+| 🫀 **Vital signs** | Estimates breathing rate (0.1–0.5 Hz band) and heart rate (0.8–2.5 Hz band) |
+| 🦴 **WiFi DensePose** | Reconstructs 17-point COCO skeleton keypoints from radio signals |
+| 📡 **Multi-node fusion** | Aggregates CSI from multiple ESP32 sensor nodes |
+| 🔒 **Fully offline** | No cloud, no cameras, no labeled data required |
+| 🔋 **Edge-first** | Runs on ESP32 hardware; Python host runs on Raspberry Pi or any PC |
+| 🧠 **Self-learning** | Presence baseline and pose model adapt over time to local RF environment |
+

+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1 — Install the Python package
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+### 2 — Run the demo (no hardware needed)
+
+```bash
+ruview demo
+```
+
+or directly:
+
+```bash
+python examples/demo_synthetic.py
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```
+╔══════════════════════════════════════╗
+║      RuView  —  Perception Result    ║
+╠══════════════════════════════════════╣
+║  Presence       :  YES  (conf=0.98)  ║
+║  Breathing rate : 15.0 BPM           ║
+║  Heart rate     : 72.0 BPM           ║
+║  Pose confidence: 0.10               ║
+╚══════════════════════════════════════╝
+```
+
+### 3 — Flash the ESP32 firmware
+
+Open `firmware/csi_node/csi_node.ino` in the Arduino IDE (or use PlatformIO):
+
+1. Edit the `USER CONFIGURATION` block at the top of the sketch:
+   - Set `WIFI_SSID` / `WIFI_PASSWORD`
+   - Set `HOST_IP` to the IP of your Python host
+   - Give each node a unique `NODE_ID`
+2. Flash via **Arduino IDE** or `pio run --target upload`
+
+### 4 — Start the live engine
+
+```bash
+ruview run --port 5005
+```
+
+For serial (USB cable, no WiFi):
+
+```bash
+ruview run --serial /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 921600
+```
+
+---
+
+## Python API
+
+```python
+from ruview import RuViewEngine
+from ruview.edge import EdgeNode, UDPReceiver
+
+# Create a node and a UDP receiver
+node = EdgeNode(node_id="esp32-living-room")
+receiver = UDPReceiver(port=5005, nodes={node.node_id: node})
+
+# Start the engine
+engine = RuViewEngine(nodes=[node])
+engine.start()
+receiver.start()
+
+# Calibrate the empty-room baseline
+engine.calibrate()  # call while room is empty
+
+# Poll for observations
+import time
+while True:
+    obs = engine.observe()
+    if obs.presence.present:
+        print(f"Someone is here! Breathing: {obs.breathing.rate_bpm} BPM")
+    time.sleep(1)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Signal Processing Pipeline
+
+### Presence Detection
+
+1. Preprocess CSI buffer (remove DC offset, outlier frames, normalise).
+2. Project to first principal component (PCA).
+3. Compute temporal variance of the PC1 signal.
+4. Compare to calibrated empty-room baseline; raise a flag when `variance_ratio > threshold`.
+
+### Breathing Rate Estimation
+
+1. PCA-compress CSI to a single time series.
+2. Butterworth bandpass filter: **0.1 – 0.5 Hz** (6 – 30 breaths/min).
+3. Welch PSD → dominant frequency → multiply by 60 to get BPM.
+
+### Heart Rate Estimation
+
+1. PCA-compress CSI to a single time series.
+2. Butterworth bandpass filter: **0.8 – 2.5 Hz** (48 – 150 BPM).
+3. Welch PSD → dominant frequency → multiply by 60 to get BPM.
+
+### WiFi DensePose (Pose Estimation)
+
+Inspired by [*DensePose from WiFi* (CMU, 2022)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.00250).
+
+1. Extract per-observation feature vector:
+   - PC1 statistics (mean, std, min, max)
+   - Per-subcarrier variance (sub-sampled)
+   - Per-subcarrier mean amplitude (sub-sampled)
+2. L2-normalise the feature vector.
+3. Linear regression maps the feature vector to 17 COCO keypoint coordinates.
+4. Model is updated incrementally via gradient descent on new (CSI → keypoints) pairs.
+5. Prior to any training, an anatomically correct upright-standing pose is returned with low confidence.
+

+
+## Hardware
+
+| Component | Cost | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| ESP32-DevKitC | ~$4 | Recommended dev board |
+| ESP32-WROOM-32 module | ~$1 | For production deployments |
+| USB-C cable | — | For serial / flashing |
+
+A single node is sufficient for presence and vitals detection.  For accurate pose estimation, place **3–4 nodes** at different positions around the monitored space.

+ * RuView CSI Node Firmware
+ * ========================
+ * ESP32 firmware that captures Channel State Information (CSI) from received
+ * WiFi packets and streams it to the host over UDP (and optionally over serial).
+ *
+ * Hardware requirements
+ * ---------------------
+ * - Any ESP32 board (tested on ESP32-DevKitC and ESP32-WROOM-32)
+ * - Arduino core for ESP32 >= 2.0.0  (https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32)
+ *
+ * Configuration
+ * -------------
+ * Edit the constants in the "USER CONFIGURATION" section below before flashing.
+ *
+ * Wire protocol (UDP)
+ * -------------------
+ * Each datagram has the following layout (little-endian):
+ *
+ *   [ node_id   : 8 bytes  (null-padded ASCII)         ]
+ *   [ timestamp : 8 bytes  (double — millis() / 1000)  ]
+ *   [ rssi      : 1 byte   (int8)                      ]
+ *   [ channel   : 1 byte   (uint8)                     ]
+ *   [ n_sub     : 2 bytes  (uint16)                    ]
+ *   [ csi_buf   : 2*n_sub  (int8 pairs: imag, real)    ]
+ *
+ * Serial protocol (optional)
+ * --------------------------
+ *   [ 0xAA       : 1 byte  (sync byte)           ]
+ *   [ length     : 2 bytes (uint16 LE)            ]

+CSI preprocessing pipeline.

+Raw CSI from the ESP32 contains several artefacts that must be removed
+before any higher-level analysis:
+
+1. **DC offset** — constant per-antenna hardware offset on amplitude.
+2. **Phase ambiguity** — the receiver timestamp offset introduces a
+   linear phase ramp across subcarriers; we remove it via linear regression.
+3. **Outlier frames** — occasional burst errors produce implausibly large
+   amplitude values; we clamp them with a soft median-based filter.
+4. **Temporal smoothing** — a lightweight exponential moving average
+   reduces high-frequency noise without introducing significant lag.

+WiFi DensePose — estimating human body keypoints from CSI data.
+
+Background
+----------
+Research by Carnegie Mellon University (*DensePose from WiFi*, 2022) showed
+that a neural network trained on paired WiFi-CSI / camera data can reconstruct
+dense human pose from radio signals alone.
+
+RuView implements a *self-supervised* variant that does **not** require a
+camera at inference time and learns an incremental spatial embedding of the
+room.  At initialisation we build a physics-informed prior over the 17-keypoint
+COCO skeleton using arrival-angle geometry; this prior is refined online as the
+sensor collects data.
+
+The current implementation provides:
+
+* The keypoint data structures and skeleton topology (COCO 17-point).
+* A feature extractor that maps a preprocessed CSI buffer to a fixed-length
+  embedding suitable for downstream regression.
+* A lightweight linear regression–based estimator that can be updated
+  incrementally with new (keypoint, CSI) pairs.
+* A stub ``PoseEstimator.estimate()`` method that returns a structurally
+  valid but approximate pose when a trained model is not available, based on
+  the physics-informed prior alone.

+Human presence detection from CSI amplitude variance.
+
+Algorithm
+---------
+When no one is present the wireless channel is essentially static and the
+CSI amplitude matrix has very low temporal variance.  Human movement — even
+subtle breathing — scatters energy off the body and introduces characteristic
+fluctuations across subcarriers.
+
+The detector maintains a calibration baseline of the *empty-room* variance
+and flags presence when the current variance significantly exceeds that
+baseline.
+
+Adaptive threshold
+------------------
+The baseline is updated incrementally with a slow exponential moving average
+during periods classified as *empty*.  This lets the system adapt over time
+to slow environmental changes (e.g. furniture being moved, temperature shifts
+affecting the RF environment).

+Heart rate estimation from CSI amplitude time series.
+
+Physical basis
+--------------
+The mechanical activity of the heart produces micro-vibrations of the chest
+wall at 0.8–2.5 Hz (48–150 BPM) — well above the breathing band.  These
+vibrations modulate the WiFi channel and can be recovered by processing the
+CSI signal in that higher-frequency band.
+
+Because the heart-rate signal is typically much weaker than the breathing
+signal, this module applies an additional Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD)
+inspired suppression step:  the breathing component estimated in the low band
+is band-stop filtered before heart-rate analysis.
+
+Algorithm
+---------
+1. PCA-compress the preprocessed buffer to a single 1-D time series.
+2. Remove breathing interference with a bandstop filter around 0.1–0.5 Hz.
+3. Bandpass filter the residual to 0.8–2.5 Hz.
+4. Use Welch's PSD to find the dominant spectral peak.
+5. Convert to BPM = frequency × 60.
