手把手步骤
第一步:理解 WiFi CSI 原理(无需硬件先跑 Python 仿真)
WiFi CSI 的本质是:利用无线信号在空间中传播时,被人体反射导致幅度和相位变化来实现无接触感知。当 WiFi 设备(路由器)和接收端之间有人移动时,CSI 报告会记录下每个子载波的复数值——包括幅度(amplitude)和相位(phase)。这些变化虽然微小,但足以反推出人体的姿态和动作。
RuView 的核心是将 CSI 信号通过完整的 pipeline(相位校正 → 多径抑制 → 神经网络推理)转换为 17 个关键点(keypoint)的姿态估计。
Step 1: Understand WiFi CSI Principles (Run Python Simulation Without Hardware)
WiFi CSI essentially uses the reflection of wireless signals by the human body to achieve contact‑free sensing. When a person moves between a WiFi router and the receiver, CSI reports record the complex value (amplitude and phase) of each subcarrier. These tiny variations are enough to infer body pose and motion.RuView transforms CSI signals through a complete pipeline (phase sanitization相位校正技术,通过迭代估计LO相位偏移并消除,恢复干净的CSI相位。 → multipath suppression多径抑制,通过信号处理减少多径效应干扰,提取人体反射信号。 → neural network inference) into 17‑keypoint pose estimations.
先不接硬件,用内置合成数据跑通全流程:
# 克隆项目
git clone https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView.git
cd RuView
# 安装 Python 依赖
cd v1
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# 运行确定性 pipeline 验证(无需任何硬件)
python data/proof/verify.py
Without hardware, run the full pipeline with the built‑in synthetic data:
Clone the project, install Python dependencies, then execute the deterministic pipeline verification script. No hardware required.
如果一切正常,你会看到:
===== WiFi-DensePose Pipeline Verification =====
Generator: generate_reference_signal.py v1.0.0
Seed: 42
Frames: 1000 | Antennas: 3 | Subcarriers: 56
Loading sample CSI data... done
Running pipeline...
[1/4] Phase sanitization ............ OK
[2/4] Multistatic signal processing .. OK
[3/4] Neural network inference ....... OK
[4/4] Keypoint extraction ........... OK
Computing reference hash (SHA-256)...
VERDICT: PASS
On success, the output confirms that all four pipeline stages (phase sanitization相位校正技术,通过迭代估计LO相位偏移并消除,恢复干净的CSI相位。, multistatic signal processing, neural network inference, and keypoint extraction) passed, and the SHA‑256 verification matches the reference.
TIP:这个验证脚本使用的是 seed=42 生成的合成 CSI 数据,所有结果完全可复现。跑通这一步,说明你的 Python 环境没问题,可以进入下一步。
TIP: This verification script uses synthetic CSI data generated with seed=42, so results are fully reproducible. Passing this step confirms your Python environment is correct.
第二步:环境准备(Python + Rust一种注重安全、并发和性能的系统编程语言,通过所有权系统在编译时防止内存错误,适合高性能计算场景。 + WSL2)
Python 环境(推荐 venv)
# 推荐用 Python 3.10 或 3.11,兼容性最好

# .venv\Scripts\activate # Windows PowerShell
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e ".[gpu]" # 有 NVIDIA GPU 时
pip install -e ".[dev]" # 开发依赖(含 pytest)
Python Environment (Recommended: venv)
Use Python 3.10 or 3.11 for best compatibility. Create a venv, activate it, upgrade pip, then install the project with optional GPU and dev dependencies.

Windows Users: WSL2 Is Required
Runwsl --installas Administrator in PowerShell, then restart and enter the WSL instance.
警告:ESP‑IDF(ESP32 固件编译工具链)在 Windows 原生 Git Bash 下存在环境变量冲突(MSYSTEM 变量会干扰 ESP‑IDF v5.4)。如果要在 Windows 上编译 ESP32 固件,推荐使用 WSL2 或纯 PowerShell。
WARNING: ESP‑IDF has environment variable conflicts when used with native Git Bash on Windows (the MSYSTEM variable interferes with ESP‑IDF v5.4). Compile ESP32 firmware using WSL2 or native PowerShell.
第三步:Python 版跑通姿态估计 pipeline
现在我们用真实代码把 CSI 数据送进推理 pipeline。
3.1 CSI 数据结构
# v1/src/core/csi_processor.py
from __future__ import annotations
import numpy as np
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import List
@dataclass
class CSIFrame:
"""单个 CSI 帧 — 对应 WiFi 的一次信道观测"""
timestamp_s: float
amplitude: np.ndarray # shape: (num_antennas, num_subcarriers)
phase: np.ndarray # shape: (num_antennas, num_subcarriers)
subcarrier_indices: np.ndarray # 子载波编号
@classmethod
def from_json(cls, data: dict) -> CSIFrame:
return cls(
timestamp_s=data["timestamp_s"],
amplitude=np.array(data["amplitude"], dtype=np.float32),
phase=np.zeros_like(data["amplitude"], dtype=np.float32), # JSON不含相位,手动初始化
subcarrier_indices=np.arange(56), # 默认56个子载波
)
@dataclass
class PoseKeypoints:
"""17 个 COCO 关键点姿态结果"""
keypoints: List[np.ndarray] # 每个 keypoint 的 (x, y, confidence)
pose_id: int
def get_skeleton(self) -> np.ndarray:
"""返回所有关键点的 (N, 2) 坐标数组,方便绘图"""
return np.array([p[:2] for p in self.keypoints])
3.1 CSI Data Structures
Two@dataclassclasses are defined:CSIFrameholds the raw CSI data (amplitude, phase, subcarrier indices), andPoseKeypointsstores the 17 COCO keypointsCOCO数据集定义的17个人体关键点(如鼻子、肩膀、肘部等),用于姿态估计输出。 with (x, y, confidence). Thefrom_jsonmethod allows loading CSI frames from the synthetic JSON file.
3.2 相位校正(消除 LO 频偏)
# v1/src/core/phase_sanitizer.py
import numpy as np
def sanitize_phase(csi: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray:
"""
迭代 LO 相位偏移估计 + 圆形均值校正
参考文献: ADR-014 SOTA Signal Processing
"""
num_antennas, num_subcarriers = csi.shape
phase = np.angle(csi)
for _ in range(3):
phase_offset = np.zeros(num_antennas)
for a in range(1, num_antennas):
delta = phase[a] - phase[0]
delta_mean = np.arctan2(
np.mean(np.sin(delta)),
np.mean(np.cos(delta))
)
phase_offset[a] = delta_mean
phase[a] -= phase_offset[a]
return phase
def extract_clean_amplitude(csi: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray:
"""提取干净幅度,忽略被噪声污染严重的子载波"""
amplitude = np.abs(csi)
z_scores = (amplitude - np.mean(amplitude, axis=1, keepdims=True)) \
/ (np.std(amplitude, axis=1, keepdims=True) + 1e-8)
mask = z_scores > -2.5
amplitude = np.where(mask, amplitude, 0)
return amplitude
3.2 Phase Sanitization相位校正技术,通过迭代估计LO相位偏移并消除,恢复干净的CSI相位。 (Remove LO Frequency Offset)
Thesanitize_phasefunction iteratively estimates and removes the phase offset caused by the local oscillator (LO) using circular mean.extract_clean_amplitudediscards subcarriers with abnormally low amplitude (z‑score < −2.5).
3.3 端到端推理流程
# v1/demo_pipeline.py
import json
import numpy as np
from pathlib import Path
from src.core.csi_processor import CSIFrame, PoseKeypoints
from src.core.phase_sanitizer import sanitize_phase, extract_clean_amplitude
def load_csi_frames(json_path: str) -> list[CSIFrame]:
with open(json_path) as f:
data = json.load(f)
return [CSIFrame.from_json(frame) for frame in data["frames"]]
def run_pipeline(csi_frame: CSIFrame) -> PoseKeypoints:
# Step 1: Phase sanitization
csi = csi_frame.amplitude * np.exp(1j * csi_frame.phase)
clean_phase = sanitize_phase(csi)
# Step 2: Clean amplitude
clean_amplitude = extract_clean_amplitude(csi)
# Step 3: Multipath suppression (simplified – take spatial average)
suppressed = clean_amplitude.mean(axis=0)
# Step 4: Simplified pose inference (demo only; real code uses PyTorch)
keypoints = []
for i in range(17):
x = 0.5 + 0.05 * np.sin(i * 0.5) + np.random.normal(0, 0.02)
y = 0.5 + 0.3 * np.cos(i * 0.3) + np.random.normal(0, 0.02)
conf = 0.9 + np.random.normal(0, 0.05)
keypoints.append(np.array([x, y, np.clip(conf, 0, 1)]))
return PoseKeypoints(keypoints=keypoints, pose_id=0)
def main():
csi_path = Path(__file__).parent / "data/proof/sample_csi_data.json"
frames = load_csi_frames(str(csi_path))
print(f"Loaded {len(frames)} CSI frames")
for i, frame in enumerate(frames[:30]):
pose = run_pipeline(frame)
skeleton = pose.get_skeleton()
if i % 10 == 0:
print(f"Frame {i}: {len(skeleton)} keypoints, "
f"avg confidence={np.mean([k[2] for k in pose.keypoints]):.3f}")
print("Pipeline run complete.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
3.3 End‑to‑End Inference Pipeline
Therun_pipelinefunction executes the four steps: phase sanitization相位校正技术,通过迭代估计LO相位偏移并消除,恢复干净的CSI相位。, amplitude cleaning, simplified multipath suppression多径抑制,通过信号处理减少多径效应干扰,提取人体反射信号。, and a dummy pose inference (replaced by a real PyTorchAn open-source machine learning framework based on the Torch library, used for applications like computer vision and natural language processing. model in production). Themainfunction loads the first 30 frames from the synthetic data and runs the pipeline, printing average confidence every 10 frames.
运行:
python demo_pipeline.py
# 输出示例:
# Loaded 1000 CSI frames
# Frame 0: 17 keypoints, avg confidence=0.901
# Frame 10: 17 keypoints, avg confidence=0.898
# ...
# Pipeline run complete.
Run the pipeline:
python demo_pipeline.py
Expected output shows the number of loaded frames and the average confidence for each reported frame.
