Adds PersonTrack/PersonTrackArray msgs and a PersonReidNode that matches
individuals across camera views using HSV colour histogram appearance
features and cosine similarity, with EMA gallery update and 30s stale timeout.
New messages (saltybot_scene_msgs):
msg/PersonTrack.msg — track_id, camera_id, bbox, confidence,
first_seen, last_seen, is_stale
msg/PersonTrackArray.msg — array wrapper with header
New files (saltybot_bringup):
saltybot_bringup/_person_reid.py — pure kinematics (no ROS2 deps)
extract_hsv_histogram() 2-D HS histogram (H=16, S=8 → 128-dim, L2-norm)
cosine_similarity() handles zero/non-unit vectors
match_track() best gallery match above threshold (strict >)
TrackGallery add/update/match/mark_stale/prune_stale
TrackEntry mutable dataclass; EMA feature blend (α=0.3)
saltybot_bringup/person_reid_node.py
Subscribes /camera/color/image_raw + /saltybot/scene/objects (BEST_EFFORT)
Crops COCO person (class_id=0) ROIs; extracts features; matches gallery
Publishes PersonTrackArray on /saltybot/person_tracks at 5 Hz
Parameters: camera_id, similarity_threshold=0.75, stale_timeout_s=30,
max_tracks=20, publish_hz=5.0
test/test_person_reid.py — 50 tests, all passing
Modified:
saltybot_scene_msgs/CMakeLists.txt — register PersonTrack/Array msgs
saltybot_bringup/setup.py — add person_reid console_script
