|
||||
## Robust Optimization Patterns
|
||||
- Use `method='trf'` for robust loss + bounds.
|
||||
- `loss='cauchy'` is highly effective for outlier-heavy depth data.
|
||||
- `f_scale` should be tuned to the expected inlier noise (e.g., sensor precision).
|
||||
- Weights must be manually multiplied into the residual vector.
|
||||
# Unit Hardening Learnings
|
||||
|
||||
- **SDK Unit Consistency**: Explicitly setting `init_params.coordinate_units = sl.UNIT.METER` ensures that all SDK-retrieved measures (depth, point clouds, tracking) are in meters, avoiding manual conversion errors.
|
||||
- **Double Scaling Guard**: When moving to SDK-level meter units, existing manual conversions (e.g., `/ 1000.0`) must be guarded or removed. Checking `cam.get_init_parameters().coordinate_units` provides a safe runtime check.
|
||||
- **Depth Sanity Logging**: Adding min/median/max/p95 stats for valid depth values in debug logs helps identify scaling issues (e.g., seeing values in the thousands when expecting meters) or data quality problems early.
|
||||
- **Loguru Integration**: Standardized on `loguru` for debug logging in `SVOReader` to match project patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
## Best-Frame Selection (Task 4)
|
||||
- Implemented `score_frame` function in `calibrate_extrinsics.py` to evaluate frame quality.
|
||||
- Scoring criteria:
|
||||
- Base score: `n_markers * 100.0 - reproj_err`
|
||||
- Depth bonus: Up to +50.0 based on valid depth ratio at marker corners.
|
||||
- Main loop now tracks the frame with the highest score per camera instead of just the latest valid frame.
|
||||
- Deterministic tie-breaking: The first frame with a given score is kept (implicitly by `current_score > best_so_far["score"]`).
|
||||
- This ensures depth verification and refinement use the highest quality data available in the SVO.
|
||||
- **Regression Testing for Units**: Added `tests/test_depth_units.py` which mocks `sl.Camera` and `sl.Mat` to verify that `_retrieve_depth` correctly handles both `sl.UNIT.METER` (no scaling) and `sl.UNIT.MILLIMETER` (divides by 1000) paths. This ensures the unit hardening is robust against future changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Robust Optimizer Implementation (Task 2)
|
||||
- Replaced `minimize(L-BFGS-B)` with `least_squares(trf, soft_l1)`.
|
||||
- **Key Finding**: `soft_l1` loss with `f_scale=0.1` (10cm) effectively ignores 3m outliers in synthetic tests, whereas MSE is heavily biased by them.
|
||||
- **Regularization**: Split into `reg_rot` (0.1) and `reg_trans` (1.0) to penalize translation more heavily in meters.
|
||||
- **Testing**: Synthetic tests require careful depth map painting to ensure markers project into the correct "measured" regions as the optimizer moves the camera. A 5x5 window lookup means we need to paint at least +/- 30 pixels to cover the optimization trajectory.
|
||||
- **Convergence**: `least_squares` with robust loss may stop slightly earlier than MSE on clean data due to gradient dampening; relaxed tolerance to 5mm for unit tests.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task 5: Diagnostics and Acceptance Gates
|
||||
- Surfaced rich optimizer diagnostics in `refine_extrinsics_with_depth` stats: `termination_status`, `nfev`, `njev`, `optimality`, `n_active_bounds`.
|
||||
- Added data quality counts: `n_points_total`, `n_depth_valid`, `n_confidence_rejected`.
|
||||
- Implemented warning gates in `calibrate_extrinsics.py`:
|
||||
- Negligible improvement: Warns if `improvement_rmse < 1e-4` after more than 5 iterations.
|
||||
- Stalled/Failed: Warns if `success` is false or `nfev <= 1`.
|
||||
- These diagnostics provide better visibility into why refinement might be failing or doing nothing, which is critical for the upcoming benchmark matrix (Task 6).
|
||||
|
||||
## Benchmark Matrix Implementation
|
||||
- Added `--benchmark-matrix` flag to `calibrate_extrinsics.py`.
|
||||
- Implemented `run_benchmark_matrix` to compare 4 configurations:
|
||||
1. baseline (linear loss, no confidence)
|
||||
2. robust (soft_l1, f_scale=0.1, no confidence)
|
||||
3. robust+confidence (soft_l1, f_scale=0.1, confidence weights)
|
||||
4. robust+confidence+best-frame (same as 3 but using the best-scored frame instead of the first valid one)
|
||||
- The benchmark results are printed as a table to stdout and saved in the output JSON under the `benchmark` key for each camera.
|
||||
- Captured `first_frames` in the main loop to provide a consistent baseline for comparison against the `best_frame` (verification_frames).
|
||||
|
||||
## Documentation Updates (2026-02-07)
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow Documentation
|
||||
- Updated `docs/calibrate-extrinsics-workflow.md` to reflect the new robust refinement pipeline.
|
||||
- Added documentation for new CLI flags: `--use-confidence-weights`, `--benchmark-matrix`.
|
||||
- Explained the switch from `L-BFGS-B` (MSE) to `least_squares` (Soft-L1) for robust optimization.
|
||||
- Documented the "Best Frame Selection" logic (scoring based on marker count, reprojection error, and valid depth).
|
||||
- Marked the "Unit Mismatch" issue as resolved due to explicit meter enforcement in `SVOReader`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Learnings
|
||||
- **Documentation as Contract**: Updating the docs *after* implementation revealed that the "Unit Mismatch" section was outdated. Explicitly marking it as "Resolved" preserves the history while clarifying current behavior.
|
||||
- **Benchmark Matrix Value**: Documenting the benchmark matrix makes it a first-class citizen in the workflow, encouraging users to empirically verify refinement improvements rather than trusting defaults.
|
||||
- **Confidence Weights**: Explicitly documenting this feature highlights the importance of sensor uncertainty in the optimization process.

# Depth Unit Scaling Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Findings
|
||||
- **Native SDK Scaling**: `depth_sensing.py` uses `init_params.coordinate_units = sl.UNIT.METER`.
|
||||
- **Manual Scaling**: `aruco/svo_sync.py` uses `depth_data / 1000.0` because it leaves `coordinate_units` at the default (`MILLIMETER`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Risks
|
||||
- **Double-Scaling**: If `svo_sync.py` is updated to use `sl.UNIT.METER` in `InitParameters`, the manual `/ 1000.0` MUST be removed, otherwise depth values will be 1000x smaller than intended.
|
||||
- **Inconsistency**: Different parts of the codebase handle unit conversion differently (SDK-level vs. Application-level).
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendations
|
||||
- Standardize on `sl.UNIT.METER` in `InitParameters` across all ZED camera initializations.
|
||||
- Remove manual `/ 1000.0` scaling once SDK-level units are set to meters.

# Robust Depth Refinement for Camera Extrinsics
|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR
|
||||
|
||||
> **Quick Summary**: Replace the failing depth-based pose refinement pipeline with a robust optimizer (`scipy.optimize.least_squares` with soft-L1 loss), add unit hardening, confidence-weighted residuals, best-frame selection, rich diagnostics, and a benchmark matrix comparing configurations.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> **Deliverables**:
|
||||
> - Unit-hardened depth retrieval (set `coordinate_units=METER`, guard double-conversion)
|
||||
> - Robust optimization objective using `least_squares(method="trf", loss="soft_l1", f_scale=0.1)`
|
||||
> - Confidence-weighted depth residuals (toggleable via CLI flag)
|
||||
> - Best-frame selection replacing naive "latest valid frame"
|
||||
> - Rich optimizer diagnostics and acceptance gates
|
||||
> - Benchmark matrix comparing baseline/robust/+confidence/+best-frame
|
||||
> - Updated tests for all new functionality
|
||||
>
|
||||
> **Estimated Effort**: Medium (3-4 hours implementation)
|
||||
> **Parallel Execution**: YES - 2 waves
|
||||
> **Critical Path**: Task 1 (units) → Task 2 (robust optimizer) → Task 3 (confidence) → Task 5 (diagnostics) → Task 6 (benchmark)

|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
### Original Request
|
||||
Implement the 5 items from "Recommended Implementation Order" in `docs/calibrate-extrinsics-workflow.md`, plus research and choose the best optimization method for depth-based camera extrinsic refinement.
|
||||
|
||||
### Interview Summary
|
||||
**Key Discussions**:
|
||||
- Requirements were explicitly specified in the documentation (no interactive interview needed)
|
||||
- Research confirmed `scipy.optimize.least_squares` is superior to `scipy.optimize.minimize` for this problem class
|
||||
|
||||
**Research Findings**:
|
||||
- **freemocap/anipose** (production multi-camera calibration) uses exactly `least_squares(method="trf", loss=loss, f_scale=threshold)` for bundle adjustment — validates our approach
|
||||
- **scipy docs** recommend `soft_l1` or `huber` for robust fitting; `f_scale` controls the inlier/outlier threshold
|
||||
- **Current output JSONs** confirm catastrophic failure: RMSE 5000+ meters (`aligned_refined_extrinsics_fast.json`), RMSE ~11.6m (`test_refine_current.json`), iterations=0/1, success=false across all cameras
|
||||
- **Unit mismatch** still active despite `/1000.0` conversion — ZED defaults to mm, code divides by 1000, but no `coordinate_units=METER` set
|
||||
- **Confidence map** retrieved but only used in verify filtering, not in optimizer objective
|
||||
|
||||
### Metis Review
|
||||
**Identified Gaps** (addressed):
|
||||
- Output JSON schema backward compatibility → New fields are additive only (existing fields preserved)
|
||||
- Confidence weighting can interact with robust loss → Made toggleable, logged statistics
|
||||
- Best-frame selection changes behavior → Deterministic scoring, old behavior available as fallback
|
||||
- Zero valid points edge case → Explicit early exit with diagnostic
|
||||
- Numerical pass/fail gate → Added RMSE threshold checks
|
||||
- Regression guard → Default CLI behavior unchanged unless user opts into new features
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Work Objectives
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Objective
|
||||
Make depth-based extrinsic refinement actually work by fixing the unit mismatch, switching to a robust optimizer, incorporating confidence weighting, and selecting the best frame for refinement.
|
||||
|
||||
### Concrete Deliverables
|
||||
- Modified `aruco/svo_sync.py` with unit hardening
|
||||
- Rewritten `aruco/depth_refine.py` using `least_squares` with robust loss
|
||||
- Updated `aruco/depth_verify.py` with confidence weight extraction helper
|
||||
- Updated `calibrate_extrinsics.py` with frame scoring, diagnostics, new CLI flags
|
||||
- New and updated tests in `tests/`
|
||||
- Updated `docs/calibrate-extrinsics-workflow.md` with new behavior docs
|
||||
|
||||
### Definition of Done
|
||||
- [x] `uv run pytest` passes with 0 failures
|
||||
- [x] Synthetic test: robust optimizer converges (success=True, nfev > 1) with injected outliers
|
||||
- [x] Existing tests still pass (backward compatibility)
|
||||
- [x] Benchmark matrix produces 4 comparable result records
|
||||
|
||||
### Must Have
|
||||
- `coordinate_units = sl.UNIT.METER` set in SVOReader
|
||||
- `least_squares` with `loss="soft_l1"` and `f_scale=0.1` as default optimizer
|
||||
- Confidence weighting via `--use-confidence-weights` flag
|
||||
- Best-frame selection with deterministic scoring
|
||||
- Optimizer diagnostics in output JSON and logs
|
||||
- All changes covered by automated tests
|
||||
|
||||
### Must NOT Have (Guardrails)
|
||||
- Must NOT change unrelated calibration logic (marker detection, PnP, pose averaging, alignment)
|
||||
- Must NOT change file I/O formats or break JSON schema (only additive fields)
|
||||
- Must NOT introduce new dependencies beyond scipy/numpy already in use
|
||||
- Must NOT implement multi-optimizer auto-selection or hyperparameter search
|
||||
- Must NOT turn frame scoring into a ML quality model — simple weighted heuristic only
|
||||
- Must NOT add premature abstractions or over-engineer the API
|
||||
- Must NOT remove existing CLI flags or change their default behavior

||||

## TODOs
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] 1. Unit Hardening (P0)
|
||||
|
||||
**What to do**:
|
||||
- In `aruco/svo_sync.py`, add `init_params.coordinate_units = sl.UNIT.METER` in the `SVOReader.__init__` method, right after `init_params.set_from_svo_file(path)` (around line 42)
|
||||
- Guard the existing `/1000.0` conversion: check whether `coordinate_units` is already METER. If METER is set, skip the division. If not set or MILLIMETER, apply the division. Add a log warning if division is applied as fallback
|
||||
- Add depth sanity logging under `--debug` mode: after retrieving depth, log `min/median/max/p95` of valid depth values. This goes in the `_retrieve_depth` method
|
||||
- Write a test that verifies the unit-hardened path doesn't double-convert
|
||||
|
||||
**Must NOT do**:
|
||||
- Do NOT change depth retrieval for confidence maps
|
||||
- Do NOT modify the `grab_synced()` or `grab_all()` methods
|
||||
- Do NOT add new CLI parameters for this task
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended Agent Profile**:
|
||||
- **Category**: `quick`
|
||||
- Reason: Small, focused change in one file + one test file
|
||||
- **Skills**: [`git-master`]
|
||||
- `git-master`: Atomic commit of unit hardening change
|
||||
|
||||
**Parallelization**:
|
||||
- **Can Run In Parallel**: YES
|
||||
- **Parallel Group**: Wave 1 (with Task 4)
|
||||
- **Blocks**: Tasks 2, 3
|
||||
- **Blocked By**: None
|
||||
|
||||
**References**:
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern References** (existing code to follow):
|
||||
- `aruco/svo_sync.py:40-44` — Current `init_params` setup where `coordinate_units` must be added
|
||||
- `aruco/svo_sync.py:180-189` — Current `_retrieve_depth` method with `/1000.0` conversion to modify
|
||||
- `aruco/svo_sync.py:191-196` — Confidence retrieval pattern (do NOT modify, but understand adjacency)
|
||||
|
||||
**API/Type References** (contracts to implement against):
|
||||
- ZED SDK `InitParameters.coordinate_units` — Set to `sl.UNIT.METER`

|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance Criteria**:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] `init_params.coordinate_units = sl.UNIT.METER` is set in SVOReader.__init__ before `cam.open()`
|
||||
- [ ] The `/1000.0` division in `_retrieve_depth` is guarded (only applied if units are NOT meters)
|
||||
- [ ] Debug logging of depth statistics (min/median/max) is added to `_retrieve_depth` when depth mode is active
|
||||
- [ ] `uv run pytest tests/test_depth_refine.py tests/test_depth_verify.py -q` → all pass (no regressions)

- [x] 2. Robust Optimizer — Replace MSE with `least_squares` + Soft-L1 Loss (P0)
|
||||
|
||||
**What to do**:
|
||||
- **Rewrite `depth_residual_objective`** → Replace with a **residual vector function** `depth_residuals(params, ...)` that returns an array of residuals (not a scalar cost). Each element is `(z_measured - z_predicted)` for one marker corner. This is what `least_squares` expects.
|
||||
- **Add regularization as pseudo-residuals**: Append `[reg_weight_rot * delta_rvec, reg_weight_trans * delta_tvec]` to the residual vector. This naturally penalizes deviation from the initial pose. Split into separate rotation and translation regularization weights (default: `reg_rot=0.1`, `reg_trans=1.0` — translation more tightly regularized in meters scale).
|
||||
- **Replace `minimize(method="L-BFGS-B")` with `least_squares(method="trf", loss="soft_l1", f_scale=0.1)`**:
|
||||
- `method="trf"` — Trust Region Reflective, handles bounds naturally
|
||||
- `loss="soft_l1"` — Smooth robust loss, downweights outliers beyond `f_scale`
|
||||
- `f_scale=0.1` — Residuals >0.1m are treated as outliers (matches ZED depth noise ~1-5cm)
|
||||
- `bounds` — Same ±5°/±5cm bounds, expressed as `(lower_bounds_array, upper_bounds_array)` tuple
|
||||
- `x_scale="jac"` — Automatic Jacobian-based scaling (prevents ill-conditioning)
|
||||
- `max_nfev=200` — Maximum function evaluations
|
||||
- **Update `refine_extrinsics_with_depth` signature**: Add parameters for `loss`, `f_scale`, `reg_rot`, `reg_trans`. Keep backward-compatible defaults. Return enriched stats dict including: `termination_message`, `nfev`, `optimality`, `active_mask`, `cost`.
|
||||
- **Handle zero residuals**: If residual vector is empty (no valid depth points), return initial pose unchanged with stats indicating `"reason": "no_valid_depth_points"`.
|
||||
- **Maintain backward-compatible scalar cost reporting**: Compute `initial_cost` and `final_cost` from the residual vector for comparison with old output format.
|
||||
|
||||
**Must NOT do**:
|
||||
- Do NOT change `extrinsics_to_params` or `params_to_extrinsics` (the Rodrigues parameterization is correct)
|
||||
- Do NOT modify `depth_verify.py` in this task
|
||||
- Do NOT add confidence weighting here (that's Task 3)
|
||||
- Do NOT add CLI flags here (that's Task 5)
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended Agent Profile**:
|
||||
- **Category**: `deep`
|
||||
- Reason: Core algorithmic change, requires understanding of optimization theory and careful residual construction
|
||||
- **Skills**: []
|
||||
- No specialized skills needed — pure Python/numpy/scipy work
|
||||
|
||||
**Parallelization**:
|
||||
- **Can Run In Parallel**: NO
|
||||
- **Parallel Group**: Wave 2 (sequential after Wave 1)
|
||||
- **Blocks**: Tasks 3, 5, 6
|
||||
- **Blocked By**: Task 1

|
||||
- `aruco/depth_refine.py:50-112` — Current `refine_extrinsics_with_depth` function to REWRITE
|
||||
- `aruco/depth_refine.py:1-16` — Import block and helper functions (keep `extrinsics_to_params`, `params_to_extrinsics`)
|
||||
- `aruco/depth_verify.py:27-67` — `compute_depth_residual` function — this is the per-point residual computation called from the objective. Understand its contract: returns `float(z_measured - z_predicted)` or `None`.
|
||||
|
||||
**API/Type References**:
|
||||
- `scipy.optimize.least_squares` — [scipy docs](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.least_squares.html): `fun(x, *args) -> residuals_array`; parameters: `method="trf"`, `loss="soft_l1"`, `f_scale=0.1`, `bounds=(lb, ub)`, `x_scale="jac"`, `max_nfev=200`
|
||||
- Return type: `OptimizeResult` with attributes: `.x`, `.cost`, `.fun`, `.jac`, `.grad`, `.optimality`, `.active_mask`, `.nfev`, `.njev`, `.status`, `.message`, `.success`
|
||||
|
||||
**External References** (production examples):
|
||||
- `freemocap/anipose` bundle_adjust method — Uses `least_squares(error_fun, x0, jac_sparsity=jac_sparse, f_scale=f_scale, x_scale="jac", loss=loss, ftol=ftol, method="trf", tr_solver="lsmr")` for multi-camera calibration. Key pattern: residual function returns per-point reprojection errors.
|
||||
- scipy Context7 docs — Example shows `least_squares(fun, x0, loss='soft_l1', f_scale=0.1, args=(t_train, y_train))` where `fun` returns residual vector
|
||||
|
||||
**Test References**:
|
||||
- `tests/test_depth_refine.py` — ALL 4 existing tests must still pass. They test: roundtrip, no-change convergence, offset correction, and bounds respect. The new optimizer must satisfy these same properties.
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance Criteria**:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] `from scipy.optimize import least_squares` replaces `from scipy.optimize import minimize`
|
||||
- [ ] `depth_residuals()` returns `np.ndarray` (vector), not scalar float
|
||||
- [ ] `least_squares(method="trf", loss="soft_l1", f_scale=0.1)` is the optimizer call
|
||||
- [ ] Regularization is split: separate `reg_rot` and `reg_trans` weights, appended as pseudo-residuals
|
||||
- [ ] Stats dict includes: `termination_message`, `nfev`, `optimality`, `cost`
|
||||
- [ ] Zero-residual case returns initial pose with `reason: "no_valid_depth_points"`
|
||||
- [ ] `uv run pytest tests/test_depth_refine.py -q` → all 4 existing tests pass
|
||||
- [ ] New test: synthetic data with 30% outlier depths → robust optimizer converges (success=True, nfev > 1) with lower median residual than would occur with pure MSE
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||

|
||||
- [x] 3. Confidence-Weighted Depth Residuals (P0)
|
||||
|
||||
**What to do**:
|
||||
- **Add confidence weight extraction helper** to `aruco/depth_verify.py`: Create a function `get_confidence_weight(confidence_map, u, v, confidence_thresh=50) -> float` that returns a normalized weight in [0, 1]. ZED confidence: [1, 100] where higher = LESS confident. Normalize as `max(0, (confidence_thresh - conf_value)) / confidence_thresh`. Values above threshold → weight 0. Clamp to `[eps, 1.0]` where eps=1e-6.
|
||||
- **Update `depth_residuals()` in `aruco/depth_refine.py`**: Accept optional `confidence_map` and `confidence_thresh` parameters. If confidence_map is provided, multiply each depth residual by `sqrt(weight)` before returning. This implements weighted least squares within the `least_squares` framework.
|
||||
- **Update `refine_extrinsics_with_depth` signature**: Add `confidence_map=None`, `confidence_thresh=50` parameters. Pass through to `depth_residuals()`.
|
||||
- **Update `calibrate_extrinsics.py`**: Pass `confidence_map=frame.confidence_map` and `confidence_thresh=depth_confidence_threshold` to `refine_extrinsics_with_depth` when confidence weighting is requested
|
||||
- **Add `--use-confidence-weights/--no-confidence-weights` CLI flag** (default: False for backward compatibility)
|
||||
- **Log confidence statistics** under `--debug`: After computing weights, log `n_zero_weight`, `mean_weight`, `median_weight`
|
||||
|
||||
**Must NOT do**:
|
||||
- Do NOT change the verification logic in `verify_extrinsics_with_depth` (it already uses confidence correctly)
|
||||
- Do NOT change confidence semantics (higher ZED value = less confident)
|
||||
- Do NOT make confidence weighting the default behavior
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended Agent Profile**:
|
||||
- **Category**: `quick`
|
||||
- Reason: Adding parameters and weight multiplication — straightforward plumbing
|
||||
- **Skills**: []
|
||||
|
||||
**Parallelization**:
|
||||
- **Can Run In Parallel**: NO (depends on Task 2)
|
||||
- **Parallel Group**: Wave 2 (after Task 2)
|
||||
- **Blocks**: Task 6
|
||||
- **Blocked By**: Task 2
|
||||
|
||||
**References**:
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern References**:
|
||||
- `aruco/depth_verify.py:82-96` — Existing confidence handling pattern (filtering, NOT weighting). Follow this semantics but produce a continuous weight instead of binary skip
|
||||
- `aruco/depth_verify.py:93-95` — ZED confidence semantics: "Higher confidence value means LESS confident... Range [1, 100], where 100 is typically occlusion/invalid"
|
||||
- `aruco/depth_refine.py` — Updated in Task 2 with `depth_residuals()` function. Add `confidence_map` parameter here
|
||||
- `calibrate_extrinsics.py:136-148` — Current call site for `refine_extrinsics_with_depth`. Add confidence_map/thresh forwarding
|
||||
|
||||
**Test References**:
|
||||
- `tests/test_depth_verify.py:69-84` — Test pattern for `compute_marker_corner_residuals`. Follow for confidence weight test
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance Criteria**:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] `get_confidence_weight()` function exists in `depth_verify.py`
|
||||
- [ ] Confidence weighting is off by default (backward compatible)
|
||||
- [ ] `--use-confidence-weights` flag exists in CLI
|
||||
- [ ] Low-confidence points have lower influence on optimization (verified by test)
|
||||
- [ ] `uv run pytest tests/ -q` → all pass
|
||||
|
||||

- [x] 4. Best-Frame Selection (P1)
|
||||
|
||||
**What to do**:
|
||||
- **Create `score_frame_quality()` function** in `calibrate_extrinsics.py` (or a new `aruco/frame_scoring.py` if cleaner). The function takes: `n_markers: int`, `reproj_error: float`, `depth_map: np.ndarray`, `marker_corners_world: Dict[int, np.ndarray]`, `T_world_cam: np.ndarray`, `K: np.ndarray` and returns a float score (higher = better).
|
||||
- **Scoring formula**: `score = w_markers * n_markers + w_reproj * (1 / (reproj_error + eps)) + w_depth * valid_depth_ratio`
|
||||
- `w_markers = 1.0` — more markers = better constraint
|
||||
- `w_reproj = 5.0` — lower reprojection error = more accurate PnP
|
||||
- `w_depth = 3.0` — higher ratio of valid depth at marker locations = better depth signal
|
||||
- `valid_depth_ratio = n_valid_depths / n_total_corners`
|
||||
- `eps = 1e-6` to avoid division by zero
|
||||
- **Replace "last valid frame" logic** in `calibrate_extrinsics.py`: Instead of overwriting `verification_frames[serial]` every time (line 467-471), track ALL valid frames per camera with their scores. After the processing loop, select the frame with the highest score.
|
||||
- **Log selected frame**: Under `--debug`, log the chosen frame index, score, and component breakdown for each camera
|
||||
- **Ensure deterministic tiebreaking**: If scores are equal, pick the frame with the lower frame_index (earliest)
|
||||
- **Keep frame storage bounded**: Store at most `max_stored_frames=10` candidates per camera (configurable), keeping the top-scoring ones
|
||||
|
||||
**Must NOT do**:
|
||||
- Do NOT add ML-based frame scoring
|
||||
- Do NOT change the frame grabbing/syncing logic
|
||||
- Do NOT add new dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended Agent Profile**:
|
||||
- **Category**: `unspecified-low`
|
||||
- Reason: New functionality but straightforward heuristic
|
||||
- **Skills**: []
|
||||
|
||||
**Parallelization**:
|
||||
- **Can Run In Parallel**: YES
|
||||
- **Parallel Group**: Wave 1 (with Task 1)
|

- **Blocks**: Task 6
|

- **Blocked By**: None

**References**:
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern References**:
|

- `calibrate_extrinsics.py:463-471` — Current "last valid frame" logic to REPLACE. Currently: `verification_frames[serial] = {"frame": frame, "ids": ids, "corners": corners}`

|
||||
- [ ] `score_frame_quality()` function exists and returns a float
|
||||
- [ ] Best frame is selected (not last frame) for each camera
|

- [ ] Scoring is deterministic (same inputs → same selected frame)
|

- [ ] Frame selection metadata is logged under `--debug`

- [x] 5. Diagnostics and Acceptance Gates (P1)
|
||||
|
||||
**What to do**:
|
||||
- **Enrich `refine_extrinsics_with_depth` stats dict**: The `least_squares` result (from Task 2) already provides `.status`, `.message`, `.nfev`, `.njev`, `.optimality`, `.active_mask`. Surface these in the returned stats dict as: `termination_status` (int), `termination_message` (str), `nfev` (int), `njev` (int), `optimality` (float), `n_active_bounds` (int, count of parameters at bound limits).
|
||||
- **Add effective valid points count**: Log how many marker corners had valid (finite, positive) depth, and how many were used after confidence filtering. Add to stats: `n_depth_valid`, `n_confidence_filtered`.
|
||||
- **Add RMSE improvement gate**: If `improvement_rmse < 1e-4` AND `nfev > 5`, log WARNING: "Refinement converged with negligible improvement — consider checking depth data quality"
|
||||
- **Add failure diagnostic**: If `success == False` or `nfev <= 1`, log WARNING with termination message and suggest checking depth unit consistency
|
||||
- **Log optimizer progress under `--debug`**: Before and after optimization, log: initial cost, final cost, delta_rotation, delta_translation, termination message, number of function evaluations
|
||||
- **Surface diagnostics in JSON output**: Add fields to `refine_depth` dict in output JSON: `termination_status`, `termination_message`, `nfev`, `n_valid_points`, `loss_function`, `f_scale`
|
||||
|
||||
**Must NOT do**:
|
||||

- [x] 6. Benchmark Matrix (P1)
|
||||
|
||||
**What to do**:
|
||||
- **Add `--benchmark-matrix` flag** to `calibrate_extrinsics.py` CLI
|
||||
- **When enabled**, run the depth refinement pipeline 4 times per camera with different configurations:
|
||||
1. **baseline**: `loss="linear"` (no robust loss), no confidence weights
|
||||
2. **robust**: `loss="soft_l1"`, `f_scale=0.1`, no confidence weights
|
||||
3. **robust+confidence**: `loss="soft_l1"`, `f_scale=0.1`, confidence weighting ON
|
||||
4. **robust+confidence+best-frame**: Same as #3 but using best-frame selection
|
||||
- **Output**: For each configuration, report per-camera: pre-refinement RMSE, post-refinement RMSE, improvement, iteration count, success/failure, termination reason
|
||||
- **Format**: Print a formatted table to stdout (using click.echo) AND save to a benchmark section in the output JSON
|
||||
- **Implementation**: Create a helper function `run_benchmark_matrix(T_initial, marker_corners_world, depth_map, K, confidence_map, ...)` that returns a list of result dicts
|
||||
|
||||
**Must NOT do**:
|
||||
- Do NOT implement automated configuration tuning
|
||||
- Do NOT add visualization/plotting dependencies
|
||||
- Do NOT change the default (non-benchmark) codepath behavior
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended Agent Profile**:
|
||||
- **Category**: `unspecified-low`
|
||||
- Reason: Orchestration code, calling existing functions with different params
|
||||
- **Skills**: []
|
||||
|
||||
**Parallelization**:
|
||||
- **Can Run In Parallel**: NO (depends on all previous tasks)
|
||||
- **Parallel Group**: Wave 3 (after all)
|
||||
- **Blocks**: Task 7
|
||||
- **Blocked By**: Tasks 2, 3, 4, 5
|
||||
|
||||
**References**:
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern References**:
|
||||
- `calibrate_extrinsics.py:73-196` — `apply_depth_verify_refine_postprocess` function. The benchmark matrix calls this logic with varied parameters
|
||||
- `aruco/depth_refine.py` — Updated `refine_extrinsics_with_depth` with `loss`, `f_scale`, `confidence_map` params
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance Criteria**:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] `--benchmark-matrix` flag exists in CLI
|
||||
- [ ] When enabled, 4 configurations are run per camera
|
||||
- [ ] Output table is printed to stdout
|
||||
- [ ] Benchmark results are in output JSON under `benchmark` key
|
||||
- [ ] `uv run pytest tests/ -q` → all pass
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent-Executed QA Scenarios:**
|
||||
|
||||
```

||||
Scenario: Benchmark flag in CLI help
|
||||
Tool: Bash
|
||||
Steps:

# AGENTS.md — Python Workspace Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment
|
||||
- **Directory**: `/workspaces/zed-playground/py_workspace`
|
||||
- **Package Manager**: `uv`
|
||||
- **Python Version**: 3.12+ (Managed by `uv`)
|
||||
- **Dependencies**: Defined in `pyproject.toml`
|
||||
- `pyzed`: ZED SDK Python wrapper
|
||||
- `opencv-python`: GUI and image processing
|
||||
- `click`: CLI argument parsing
|
||||
- `numpy`, `cupy-cuda12x`: Data manipulation
|
||||
This file defines coding-agent guidance for:
|
||||
`/workspaces/zed-playground/py_workspace`
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow & Commands
|
||||
- **Run Scripts**: Always use `uv run` to ensure correct environment.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
uv run streaming_receiver.py --help
|
||||
uv run recording_multi.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **New Dependencies**: Add with `uv add <package>` (e.g., `uv add requests`).
|
||||
Use this as the primary reference for Python work in this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture & Patterns
|
||||
- **Network Camera Handling**:
|
||||
- Use `zed_network_utils.py` for all network config parsing.
|
||||
- Config file: `/workspaces/zed-playground/zed_settings/inside_network.json`
|
||||
- **Threading Model**:
|
||||
- **Main Thread**: MUST handle all OpenCV GUI (`cv2.imshow`, `cv2.waitKey`).
|
||||
- **Worker Threads**: Handle `camera.grab()` and data retrieval.
|
||||
- **Communication**: Use `queue.Queue` to pass frames from workers to main.
|
||||
- **ZED API Patterns**:
|
||||
- Streaming Input: `init_params.set_from_stream(ip, port)`
|
||||
- Serial Number: Use `camera.get_camera_information().serial_number`.

|
||||
|
||||
## 4) Python Code Style Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
### Imports
|
||||
- Group imports: standard library → third-party → local modules.
|
||||
- Use ZED import style:
|
||||
- `import pyzed.sl as sl`
|
||||
- In package modules (`aruco/*`), prefer relative imports:
|
||||
- `from .pose_math import ...`
|
||||
- In top-level scripts, absolute imports are common:
|
||||
- `from aruco.detector import ...`
|
||||
|
||||
### Formatting & structure
|
||||
- 4-space indentation.
|
||||
- PEP8-style layout.
|
||||
- Keep functions focused and composable.
|
||||
- Prefer explicit CLI options over positional ambiguity.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typing
|
||||
- Add type hints on public and most internal functions.
|
||||
- Existing code uses both:
|
||||
- `typing.Optional/List/Dict/Tuple`
|
||||
- modern `|` unions
|
||||
Stay consistent with the surrounding file.
|
||||
- When arrays/matrices are central, use `jaxtyping` shape aliases (with `TYPE_CHECKING` guards) where already established.
|
||||
- Avoid broad `Any` unless unavoidable at library boundaries (OpenCV/pyzed interop).
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming
|
||||
- `snake_case`: functions, variables, modules.
|
||||
- `PascalCase`: classes.
|
||||
- `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`: constants.
|
||||
|
||||
### Docstrings
|
||||
- Use concise purpose + `Args` / `Returns`.
|
||||
- Document expected array shapes and units for geometry/math functions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Logging & output
|
||||
- User-facing CLI output: `click.echo`.
|
||||
- Diagnostic logs: `loguru` (`logger.debug/info/warning`).
|
||||
- Keep verbose logs behind a `--debug` flag.
|
||||
|
||||
### Error handling
|
||||
- Raise specific exceptions (`ValueError`, `FileNotFoundError`, etc.) with actionable messages.
|
||||
- For CLI fatal paths, use `click.UsageError` or `SystemExit(1)` patterns.
|
||||
- Validate early (shape/range/None) before expensive compute.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5) Testing Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
- Framework: `pytest`
|
||||
- Numerical checks: use `numpy.testing.assert_allclose` where appropriate.
|
||||
- Exception checks: `pytest.raises(..., match=...)`.
|
||||
- Place/add tests under `tests/`.
|
||||
- For `aruco/*` behavior changes, update related tests (`test_depth_*`, `test_alignment`, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6) Project-Specific ZED Guidance
|
||||
|
||||
### Streaming vs Fusion architecture
|
||||
- Streaming API sends compressed video; host computes depth/tracking.
|
||||
- Fusion API sends metadata; host does lightweight fusion.
|
||||
- Do not assume built-in depth-map streaming parity with metadata fusion.
|
||||
|
||||
### Units
|
||||
- Keep units explicit and consistent end-to-end.
|
||||
- Marker parquet geometry is meter-based in this workspace.
|
||||
- Be careful with ZED depth unit configuration and conversions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Threading
|
||||
- OpenCV GUI (`cv2.imshow`, `cv2.waitKey`) should stay on main thread.
|
||||
- Use worker thread(s) for grab/retrieve and queue handoff patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
### Network config
|
||||
- Follow `zed_network_utils.py` and `zed_settings/inside_network.json` patterns.

## 7) Agent Workflow Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before editing:
|
||||
1. Identify target file/module and nearest existing pattern.
|
||||
2. Confirm expected command(s) from this guide.
|
||||
3. Check for relevant existing tests.
|
||||
|
||||
After editing:
|
||||
1. Run focused tests first.
|
||||
2. Run broader test selection as needed.
|
||||
3. Run `uv run basedpyright` on final pass.
|
||||
4. Keep changes minimal and avoid unrelated churn.
|
||||
|
||||
If uncertain:
|
||||
- Prefer small, verifiable changes.
|
||||
- Document assumptions in PR/commit notes.

|

### 2. Refinement (`--refine-depth`)
|
||||
- **Trigger**: Runs only if verification is enabled and enough valid depth points (>4) are found.
|
||||
- **Process**:
|
||||
- Uses `scipy.optimize.minimize` (L-BFGS-B) to adjust the 6-DOF pose parameters (rotation vector + translation vector).
|
||||
- **Objective Function**: Minimizes the squared difference between computed depth and measured depth for all visible marker corners.
|
||||
- Uses `scipy.optimize.least_squares` with a robust loss function (`soft_l1`) to handle outliers.
|
||||
- **Objective Function**: Minimizes the robust residual between computed depth and measured depth for all visible marker corners.
|
||||
- **Confidence Weighting** (`--use-confidence-weights`): If enabled, residuals are weighted by the ZED confidence map (higher confidence = higher weight).
|
||||
- **Constraints**: Bounded optimization to prevent drifting too far from the initial ArUco pose (default: ±5 degrees, ±5cm).
|
||||
- **Output**:
|
||||
- Refined pose replaces the original pose in the JSON output.
|
||||
- Improvement stats (delta rotation, delta translation, RMSE reduction) added under `refine_depth`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Best Frame Selection
|
||||
When multiple frames are available, the system scores them to pick the best candidate for verification/refinement:
|
||||
- **Criteria**:
|
||||
- Number of detected markers (primary factor).
|
||||
- Reprojection error (lower is better).
|
||||
- Valid depth ratio (percentage of marker corners with valid depth data).
|
||||
- Depth confidence (if available).
|
||||
- **Benefit**: Ensures refinement uses high-quality data rather than just the last valid frame.
|
||||
|
||||
## Benchmark Matrix (`--benchmark-matrix`)
|
||||
|
||||
This mode runs a comparative analysis of different refinement configurations on the same data to evaluate improvements. It compares:
|
||||
1. **Baseline**: Linear loss (MSE), no confidence weighting.
|
||||
2. **Robust**: Soft-L1 loss, no confidence weighting.
|
||||
3. **Robust + Confidence**: Soft-L1 loss with confidence-weighted residuals.
|
||||
4. **Robust + Confidence + Best Frame**: All of the above, using the highest-scored frame.
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
- Prints a summary table for each camera showing RMSE improvement and iteration counts.
|
||||
- Adds a `benchmark` object to the JSON output containing detailed stats for each configuration.

## Known Unexpected Behavior / Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Depth Refinement Failure (Unit Mismatch)
|
||||
### Resolved: Depth Refinement Failure (Unit Mismatch)
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
*Note: This issue has been resolved in the latest version by enforcing explicit meter units in the SVO reader and removing ambiguous manual conversions.*
|
||||
|
||||
**Previous Symptoms:**
|
||||
- `depth_verify` reports extremely large RMSE values (e.g., > 1000).
|
||||
- `refine_depth` reports `success: false`, `iterations: 0`, and near-zero improvement.
|
||||
- The optimization fails to converge or produces nonsensical results.
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:**
|
||||
The ZED SDK `retrieve_measure(sl.MEASURE.DEPTH)` returns depth values in the unit defined by `InitParameters.coordinate_units`. The default is **MILLIMETERS**. However, the calibration system (extrinsics, marker geometry) operates in **METERS**.
|
||||
**Resolution:**
|
||||
The system now explicitly sets `InitParameters.coordinate_units = sl.UNIT.METER` when opening SVO files, ensuring consistent units across the pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
This scale mismatch (factor of 1000) causes the residuals in the optimization objective function to be massive, breaking the numerical stability of the L-BFGS-B solver.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation:**
|
||||
The `SVOReader` class in `aruco/svo_sync.py` explicitly converts the retrieved depth map to meters:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# aruco/svo_sync.py
|
||||
return depth_data / 1000.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
This ensures that all geometric math downstream remains consistent in meters.
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagnostic Check:**
|
||||
If you suspect a unit mismatch, check the `depth_verify` RMSE in the output JSON.
|
||||
- **Healthy:** RMSE < 0.5 (meters)
|
||||
- **Mismatch:** RMSE > 100 (likely millimeters)
|
||||
|
||||
*Note: Confidence filtering (`--depth-confidence-threshold`) is orthogonal to this issue. A unit mismatch affects all valid pixels regardless of confidence.*
|
||||
|
||||
## Findings Summary (2026-02-07)
|
||||
|
||||
This section summarizes the latest deep investigation across local code, outputs, and external docs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Confirmed Facts
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Marker geometry parquet is in meters**
|
||||
- `aruco/markers/standard_box_markers_600mm.parquet` stores values around `0.3` (meters), not `300` (millimeters).
|
||||
- `docs/marker-parquet-format.md` also documents meter-scale coordinates.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Depth unit contract is still fragile**
|
||||
- ZED defaults to millimeters unless `InitParameters.coordinate_units` is explicitly set.
|
||||
- Current reader path converts depth by dividing by `1000.0` in `aruco/svo_sync.py`.
|
||||
- This works only if incoming depth is truly millimeters. It can become fragile if unit config changes elsewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Observed runtime behavior still indicates refinement instability**
|
||||
- Existing outputs (for example `output/aligned_refined_extrinsics*.json`) show very large `depth_verify.rmse`, often `refine_depth.success: false`, `iterations: 0`, and negligible improvement.
|
||||
- This indicates that refinement quality is currently limited beyond the original mm↔m mismatch narrative.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Current refinement objective is not robust enough**
|
||||
- Objective is plain squared depth residuals + simple regularization.
|
||||
- It does **not** currently include robust loss (Huber/Soft-L1), confidence weighting in the objective, or strong convergence diagnostics.
|
||||
|
||||
### Likely Contributors to Poor Refinement
|
||||
|
||||
- Depth outliers are not sufficiently down-weighted in optimization.
|
||||
- Confidence map is used for verification filtering, but not as residual weights in the optimizer objective.
|
||||
- Representative frame choice uses the latest valid frame, not necessarily the best-quality frame.
|
||||
- Optimizer diagnostics are limited, making it hard to distinguish "real convergence" from "stuck at initialization".
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Implementation Order (for next session)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Unit hardening (P0)**
|
||||
- Explicitly set `init_params.coordinate_units = sl.UNIT.METER` in SVO reader.
|
||||
- Remove or guard manual `/1000.0` conversion to avoid double-scaling risk.
|
||||
- Add depth sanity logs (min/median/max sampled depth) under `--debug`.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Robust objective (P0)**
|
||||
- Replace MSE-only residual with Huber (or Soft-L1) in meters.
|
||||
- Add confidence-weighted depth residuals in objective function.
|
||||
- Split translation/rotation regularization coefficients.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Frame quality selection (P1)**
|
||||
- Replace "latest valid frame" with best-frame scoring:
|
||||
- marker count (higher better)
|
||||
- median reprojection error (lower better)
|
||||
- valid depth ratio (higher better)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Diagnostics and acceptance gates (P1)**
|
||||
- Log optimizer termination reason, gradient/step behavior, and effective valid points.
|
||||
- Treat tiny RMSE changes as "no effective refinement" even if optimizer returns.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Benchmark matrix (P1)**
|
||||
- Compare baseline vs robust loss vs robust+confidence vs robust+confidence+best-frame.
|
||||
- Report per-camera pre/post RMSE, iteration count, and success/failure reason.
|
||||
|
||||
### Practical note
|
||||
|
||||
The previous troubleshooting section correctly explains one important failure mode (unit mismatch), but current evidence shows that **robust objective design and frame quality control** are now the primary bottlenecks for meaningful depth refinement gains.
|
||||
### Optimization Stalls
|
||||
If `refine_depth` shows `success: false` but `nfev` (evaluations) is high, the optimizer may have hit a flat region or local minimum.
|
||||
- **Check**: Look at `termination_message` in the JSON output.
|
||||
- **Fix**: Try enabling `--use-confidence-weights` or checking if the initial ArUco pose is too far off (reprojection error > 2.0).
