+# Sidewalk Segmentation — Training & Deployment Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+SaltyBot uses **BiSeNetV2** (default) or **DDRNet-23-slim** for real-time semantic
+segmentation, pre-trained on Cityscapes and optionally fine-tuned on site-specific data.
+
+The model runs at **>15fps on Orin Nano Super** via TensorRT FP16 at 512×256 input,
+publishing per-pixel traversability costs to Nav2.
+
+---
+
+## Traversability Classes
+
+| Class | ID | OccupancyGrid | Description |
+|-------|----|---------------|-------------|
+| Sidewalk | 0 | 0 (free) | Preferred navigation surface |
+| Grass/vegetation | 1 | 50 (medium) | Traversable but non-preferred |
+| Road | 2 | 90 (high cost) | Avoid but can cross |
+| Obstacle | 3 | 100 (lethal) | Person, car, building, fence |
+| Unknown | 4 | -1 (unknown) | Sky, unlabelled |
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start — Pretrained Cityscapes Model
+
+No training required for standard sidewalks in Western cities.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build the TRT engine (once, on Orin):
+python3 /opt/ros/humble/share/saltybot_segmentation/scripts/build_engine.py
+
+# 2. Launch:
+ros2 launch saltybot_segmentation sidewalk_segmentation.launch.py
+
+# 3. Verify:
+ros2 topic hz /segmentation/mask # expect ~15Hz
+ros2 topic hz /segmentation/costmap # expect ~15Hz
+ros2 run rviz2 rviz2 # add OccupancyGrid, topic=/segmentation/costmap
+```
+
+---
+
+## Model Benchmarks — Cityscapes Validation Set
+
+| Model | mIoU | Sidewalk IoU | Road IoU | FPS (Orin FP16) | Engine size |
+|-------|------|--------------|----------|-----------------|-------------|
+| BiSeNetV2 | 72.6% | 82.1% | 97.8% | ~50 fps | ~11 MB |
+| DDRNet-23-slim | 79.5% | 84.3% | 98.1% | ~40 fps | ~18 MB |
+
+Both exceed the **>15fps target** with headroom for additional ROS2 overhead.
+
+BiSeNetV2 is the default — faster, smaller, sufficient for traversability.
+Use DDRNet if mIoU matters more than latency (e.g., complex European city centres).
+
+---
+
+## Fine-Tuning on Custom Site Data
+
+### When is fine-tuning needed?
+
+The Cityscapes-trained model works well for:
+- European-style city sidewalks, curbs, roads
+- Standard pedestrian infrastructure
+
+Fine-tuning improves performance for:
+- Gravel/dirt paths (not in Cityscapes)
+- Unusual kerb styles or non-standard pavement markings
+- Indoor+outdoor transitions (garage exits, building entrances)
+- Non-Western road infrastructure
+
+### Step 1 — Collect data (walk the route)
+
+Record a ROS2 bag while walking the intended robot route:
+
+```bash
+# On Orin, record the front camera for 5–10 minutes of the target environment:
+ros2 bag record /camera/color/image_raw -o sidewalk_route_2024-01
+
+# Transfer to workstation for labelling:
+scp -r jetson:/home/ubuntu/sidewalk_route_2024-01 ~/datasets/
+```
+
+### Step 2 — Extract frames
+
+```bash
+python3 fine_tune.py \
+ --extract-frames ~/datasets/sidewalk_route_2024-01/ \
+ --output-dir ~/datasets/sidewalk_raw/ \
+ --every-n 5 # 1 frame per 5 = ~6fps from 30fps bag
+```
+
+This extracts ~200–400 frames from a 5-minute bag. You need to label **50–100 frames** minimum.
+
+### Step 3 — Label with LabelMe
+
+```bash
+pip install labelme
+labelme ~/datasets/sidewalk_raw/
+```
+
+**Class names to use** (must be exact):
+
+| What you see | LabelMe label |
+|--------------|---------------|
+| Footpath/pavement | `sidewalk` |
+| Road/tarmac | `road` |
+| Grass/lawn/verge | `vegetation` |
+| Gravel path | `terrain` |
+| Person | `person` |
+| Car/vehicle | `car` |
+| Building/wall | `building` |
+| Fence/gate | `fence` |
+
+**Labelling tips:**
+- Use **polygon** tool for precise boundaries
+- Focus on the ground plane (lower 60% of image) — that's what the costmap uses
+- 50 well-labelled frames beats 200 rushed ones
+- Vary conditions: sunny, overcast, morning, evening
+
+### Step 4 — Convert labels to masks
+
+```bash
+python3 fine_tune.py \
+ --convert-labels ~/datasets/sidewalk_raw/ \
+ --output-dir ~/datasets/sidewalk_masks/
+```
+
+Output: `_mask.png` per frame — 8-bit PNG with Cityscapes class IDs.
+Unlabelled pixels are set to 255 (ignored during training).
+
+### Step 5 — Fine-tune
+
+```bash
+# On Orin (or workstation with CUDA):
+python3 fine_tune.py --train \
+ --images ~/datasets/sidewalk_raw/ \
+ --labels ~/datasets/sidewalk_masks/ \
+ --weights /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_cityscapes.pth \
+ --output /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_custom.pth \
+ --epochs 20 \
+ --lr 1e-4
+```
+
+Expected training time:
+- 50 images, 20 epochs, Orin: ~15 minutes
+- 100 images, 20 epochs, Orin: ~25 minutes
+
+### Step 6 — Evaluate mIoU
+
+```bash
+python3 fine_tune.py --eval \
+ --images ~/datasets/sidewalk_raw/ \
+ --labels ~/datasets/sidewalk_masks/ \
+ --weights /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_custom.pth
+```
+
+Target mIoU on custom classes: >70% on sidewalk/road/obstacle.
+
+### Step 7 — Build new TRT engine
+
+```bash
+python3 build_engine.py \
+ --weights /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_custom.pth \
+ --engine /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_custom_512x256.engine
+```
+
+Update `segmentation_params.yaml`:
+```yaml
+engine_path: /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_custom_512x256.engine
+```
+
+---
+
+## Nav2 Integration — SegmentationCostmapLayer
+
+Add to `nav2_params.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+local_costmap:
+ local_costmap:
+ ros__parameters:
+ plugins:
+ - "voxel_layer"
+ - "inflation_layer"
+ - "segmentation_layer" # ← add this
+
+ segmentation_layer:
+ plugin: "saltybot_segmentation_costmap::SegmentationCostmapLayer"
+ enabled: true
+ topic: /segmentation/costmap
+ combination_method: max # max | override | min
+```
+
+**combination_method:**
+- `max` (default) — keeps the worst-case cost between existing costmap and segmentation.
+ Most conservative; prevents Nav2 from overriding obstacle detections.
+- `override` — segmentation completely replaces existing cell costs.
+ Use when you trust the camera more than other sensors.
+- `min` — keeps the most permissive cost.
+ Use for exploratory navigation in open environments.
+
+---
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Too slow (<15fps)
+
+1. **Reduce process_every_n** (e.g., `process_every_n: 2` → effective 15fps from 30fps camera)
+2. **Reduce input resolution** — edit `build_engine.py` to use 384×192 (2.2× faster)
+3. **Ensure nvpmodel is in MAXN mode**: `sudo nvpmodel -m 0 && sudo jetson_clocks`
+4. Check GPU is not throttled: `jtop` → GPU frequency should be 1024MHz
+
+### False road detections (sidewalk near road)
+
+- Lower `camera_pitch_deg` to look further ahead
+- Enable `unknown_as_obstacle: true` to be more cautious
+- Fine-tune with site-specific data (Step 5)
+
+### Costmap looks noisy
+
+- Increase `costmap_resolution` (0.1m cells reduce noise)
+- Reduce `costmap_range_m` to 3.0m (projection less accurate at far range)
+- Apply temporal smoothing in Nav2 inflation layer
+
+---
+
+## Datasets
+
+### Cityscapes (primary pre-training)
+- **2975 training / 500 validation** finely annotated images
+- 19 semantic classes (roads, sidewalks, people, vehicles, etc.)
+- License: Cityscapes Terms of Use (non-commercial research)
+- Download: https://www.cityscapes-dataset.com/
+- Required for training from scratch; BiSeNetV2 pretrained checkpoint (~25MB) available at:
+ https://github.com/CoinCheung/BiSeNet/releases
+
+### Mapillary Vistas (supplementary)
+- **18,000 training images** from diverse global street scenes
+- 124 semantic classes (broader coverage than Cityscapes)
+- Includes dirt paths, gravel, unusual sidewalk types
+- License: CC BY-SA 4.0
+- Download: https://www.mapillary.com/dataset/vistas
+- Useful for mapping to our traversability classes in non-European environments
+
+### Custom saltybot data
+- Collected per-deployment via `fine_tune.py --extract-frames`
+- 50–100 labelled frames typical for 80%+ mIoU on specific routes
+- Store in `/mnt/nvme/saltybot/training_data/`

+fine_tune.py — Fine-tune BiSeNetV2 on custom sidewalk data.
+
+Walk-and-label workflow:
+ 1. Record a ROS2 bag while walking the route:
+ ros2 bag record /camera/color/image_raw -o sidewalk_route
+ 2. Extract frames from the bag:
+ python3 fine_tune.py --extract-frames sidewalk_route/ --output-dir data/raw/ --every-n 5
+ 3. Label 50+ frames in LabelMe (or CVAT):
+ labelme data/raw/ (save as JSON)
+ 4. Convert labels to Cityscapes-format masks:
+ python3 fine_tune.py --convert-labels data/raw/ --output-dir data/labels/
+ 5. Fine-tune:
+ python3 fine_tune.py --train --images data/raw/ --labels data/labels/ \
+ --weights /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_cityscapes.pth \
+ --output /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_custom.pth
+ 6. Build new TRT engine:
+ python3 build_engine.py --weights /mnt/nvme/saltybot/models/bisenetv2_custom.pth
+
+LabelMe class names (must match exactly in labelme JSON):
+ sidewalk → Cityscapes ID 1 → TRAV_SIDEWALK
+ road → Cityscapes ID 0 → TRAV_ROAD
+ grass → Cityscapes ID 8 → TRAV_GRASS (use 'vegetation')
+ obstacle → Cityscapes ID 2 → TRAV_OBSTACLE (use 'building' for static)
