WiFi DensePose

See through walls with WiFi. No cameras. No wearables. Just radio waves.

WiFi DensePose turns commodity WiFi signals into real-time human pose estimation, vital sign monitoring, and presence detection — all without a single pixel of video. By analyzing Channel State Information (CSI) disturbances caused by human movement, the system reconstructs body position, breathing rate, and heartbeat using physics-based signal processing and machine learning.

What How Speed

Pose estimation CSI subcarrier amplitude/phase → DensePose UV maps 54K fps (Rust)

Breathing detection Bandpass 0.1-0.5 Hz → FFT peak 6-30 BPM

Heart rate Bandpass 0.8-2.0 Hz → FFT peak 40-120 BPM

Presence sensing RSSI variance + motion band power < 1ms latency

Through-wall Fresnel zone geometry + multipath modeling Up to 5m depth

# 30 seconds to live sensing — no toolchain required
docker pull ruvnet/wifi-densepose:latest
docker run -p 3000:3000 ruvnet/wifi-densepose:latest
# Open http://localhost:3000

Hardware options for live CSI capture:

Option Hardware Cost Capabilities

ESP32 Mesh (recommended) 3-6x ESP32-S3 + WiFi router ~$54 Presence, motion, breathing, heartbeat

Research NIC Intel 5300 / Atheros AR9580 ~$50-100 Full CSI with 3x3 MIMO

Any WiFi Windows/Linux laptop $0 RSSI-based presence and motion

📦 Installation — Guided installer, Docker, Rust, or Python

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:

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

Install Profiles

Profile	What it installs	Size	Requirements
`verify`	Pipeline verification only	~5 MB	Python 3.8+
`python`	Full Python API server + sensing	~500 MB	Python 3.8+
`rust`	Rust pipeline (~810x faster)	~200 MB	Rust 1.70+
`browser`	WASM for in-browser execution	~10 MB	Rust + wasm-pack
`iot`	ESP32 sensor mesh + aggregator	varies	Rust + ESP-IDF
`docker`	Docker-based deployment	~1 GB	Docker
`field`	WiFi-Mat disaster response kit	~62 MB	Rust + wasm-pack
`full`	Everything available	~2 GB	All toolchains
