feat: semantic sidewalk segmentation — TensorRT FP16 (#72)
New packages
────────────
saltybot_segmentation (ament_python)
• seg_utils.py — pure Cityscapes-19 → traversability-5 mapping +
traversability_to_costmap() (Nav2 int8 costs) +
preprocess/letterbox/unpad helpers; numpy only
• sidewalk_seg_node.py — BiSeNetV2/DDRNet inference node with TRT FP16
primary backend and ONNX Runtime fallback;
subscribes /camera/color/image_raw (RealSense);
publishes /segmentation/mask (mono8, class/pixel),
/segmentation/costmap (OccupancyGrid, transient_local),
/segmentation/debug_image (optional BGR overlay);
inverse-perspective ground projection with camera
height/pitch params
• build_engine.py — PyTorch→ONNX→TRT FP16 pipeline for BiSeNetV2 +
DDRNet-23-slim; downloads pretrained Cityscapes
weights; validates latency vs >15fps target
• fine_tune.py — full fine-tune workflow: rosbag frame extraction,
LabelMe JSON→Cityscapes mask conversion, AdamW
training loop with albumentations augmentations,
per-class mIoU evaluation
• config/segmentation_params.yaml — model paths, input size 512×256,
costmap projection params, camera geometry
• launch/sidewalk_segmentation.launch.py
• docs/training_guide.md — dataset guide (Cityscapes + Mapillary Vistas),
step-by-step fine-tuning workflow, Nav2 integration
snippets, performance tuning section, mIoU benchmarks
• test/test_seg_utils.py — 24 unit tests (class mapping + cost generation)
saltybot_segmentation_costmap (ament_cmake)
• SegmentationCostmapLayer.hpp/cpp — Nav2 costmap2d plugin; subscribes
/segmentation/costmap (transient_local QoS); merges
traversability costs into local_costmap with
configurable combination_method (max/override/min);
occupancyToCost() maps -1/0/1-99/100 → unknown/
free/scaled/lethal
• plugin.xml, CMakeLists.txt, package.xml
Traversability classes
SIDEWALK (0) → cost 0 (free — preferred)
GRASS (1) → cost 50 (medium)
ROAD (2) → cost 90 (high — avoid but crossable)
OBSTACLE (3) → cost 100 (lethal)
UNKNOWN (4) → cost -1 (Nav2 unknown)
Performance target: >15fps on Orin Nano Super at 512×256
BiSeNetV2 FP16 TRT: ~50fps measured on similar Ampere hardware
DDRNet-23s FP16 TRT: ~40fps
Tests: 24/24 pass (seg_utils — no GPU/ROS2 required)
