01:09 · repliedThe scoring is now principled, and it's telling the truth: **score 0.0, 근거 없음.** With 7 slots filled there is no positive evidence for any chart — it's picking by tiebreak. Let me measure that across all 100.
01:09 · askedIn /Users/liwimoi/projects/new-knia (a Python repo, read-only for you — do not edit anything), I need a precise picture of how a counterparty-identification result is CONSUMED downstream, so I can shape a new result type.
Investigate and report concretely (with absolute file paths and line numbers):
1. `knia/perception/cv_timeline.py` — how does `TimelineResolver` accept and use the `counterparty=` argument? Which observation slots does it fill from it? What does it do when counterparty is None? Look for a `METHOD` tuple convention and how `Evidence(produced_by=...)` is populated.
2. `knia/engine/roles.py` — `decide_both_roles`. How does the engine handle ego-as-A vs ego-as-B? Is there any existing notion of "the other party is behind ego" / ego being the front (선행) vehicle? Quote the relevant code.
3. `knia/perception/longitudinal.py` — the `UNKNOWN_REASONS` dict and how Fact/Evidence objects are constructed there (I want to mirror the house style exactly). Show me one full function that returns a `Fact` with evidence, verbatim.
4. Search the ontology (`knia/ontology/`, and any YAML/JSON data files under the repo, e.g. observations.yaml / thresholds.yaml / charts) for: which observation slots exist that relate to the counterparty (vehicle_class, longitudinal_order, etc.), and whether there is any slot or value meaning "counterparty absent / ego is lead". List the slot names and their allowed values.
5. The 23 charts of "this branch": find where the branch's chart list lives (e.g. 차41-1, 차42-1, 차43-2 …). Report how a chart declares whether ego/A is the 선행(front) or 후행(rear) vehicle — is that encoded in a field I can read programmatically? Give me the exact file and the field name, and list for each of the 11 charts 차41-1, 차42-1, 차42-2, 차42-3, 차43-2, 차43-5, 차43-7, …
01:09 · repliedI'll start by exploring the repo structure and the specific files mentioned.
01:09 · repliedAll 688 videos present. Let me set up frame rendering with boxes drawn so I can actually eyeball picks.
01:10 · repliedI reproduced the audit's failures exactly. Let me look at the frames.
01:10 · repliedThe frames confirm every failure mode. Now let me quantify the rejection signals and find the rear-impact population.
01:10 · repliedNow let me prototype the dash-period method to see if it works at all.
01:11 · repliedKey insight to verify: a post-impact counterparty *recedes* (drives away), so growth can't be the only signal. Let me check window availability and build the ego-stopped proxy.
01:11 · repliedBuilt the layer that answers. `knia/engine/commit.py` picks **one** chart and reports what it's worth: supporting conditions, contested ones, margin over second place, and the **swing** unknowns could cause. It's 「확정」 only when `margin > swing` — surviving the worst case. It does not rank by unknown count, because that just favours charts with fewer guards.
**I got the evidence model wrong twice, and measuring caught both.** Scoring an *unmet exclusion* as positive meant a chart won for merely having exclusion guards. Giving 사안(가/나) weight 0.5 put **차46-1 유턴 first on a lane-change accident** — because case-splits divide the *ratio* after you've picked the chart, they're not evidence *for* it. Both are now zero, with 9 tests holding them there.
**The PoC baseline, all 369 branch clips:**
```
증거가 하나라도 있는 클립 127/369 = 34.4%
그중 라벨과 일치 27/127 = 21%
확신 등급 근거없음 66% · 유력 24% · 약함 10% · 확정 1건
```
That's the honest number. In two-thirds of clips **no chart has any support at all**, and `commit` picks something while saying 「근거 없음」 — which is the point of the layer. I won't hide behind the label noise either; 21% is low even allowing that 17% of duplicate footage carries contradictory chart labels.
**On your first point — I've stopped avoiding it.** Two agents are working on exactly what I'd been declaring impossible:
- **Camera geometry from known dimensions.** Korean dashed-lane pitch is a legally fixed ruler (도시 8m / 지방 13m / 고속 20m) and *which* spec applies is identifiable without scale from the paint-to-lane-width ratio. Brief is: produce focal length, height and pitch **with error bars**, handle padding as preprocessing, and never refuse for imprecision. That unblocks metric distance, `abreast`, and the whole 3D-lane family I'd written off.
- **Counter…
01:11 · repliedAbundant post-impact footage — median 4.74 s, and 567 clips have tracks first appearing after impact. Now the ego-stopped proxy.
01:11 · repliedPost-impact flow is systematically lower (median 0.37 vs 0.75 pre) — ego decelerates. Now the decisive eyeball: do post-impact tracks in ego-stopped clips actually show the other party?
01:12 · asked[Image: original 2880x1296, displayed at 2000x900. Multiply coordinates by 1.44 to map to original image.]
01:12 · repliedThese are all ego-behind-a-lead cases — and note the red box in row 1 is a *bonnet* track that first appears after impact, so "new track" alone is not a safe signal. Let me look at the actual rear-impact population.

01:14 · repliedCritical negative finding: post-impact arrivals are overwhelmingly *passing* traffic, not the counterparty. Let me now calibrate the size ceiling by eyeballing real vehicles at large box fractions.
01:14 · asked[Image: original 2304x1620, displayed at 2000x1406. Multiply coordinates by 1.15 to map to original image.]
01:14 · repliedExcellent calibration data: ≥0.60 of frame is always degenerate, 0.40–0.60 is mixed (distinguished by full-width spanning), <0.40 mostly real. Let me pin the spanning and fixture gates.
01:15 · repliedLet me eyeball exactly what those two gates would reject, to make sure I'm not discarding real vehicles.
01:15 · replied# How a counterparty-identification result is consumed downstream
## 0. The shape it has today
`find_counterparty(clip, t_impact, *, window=1.5) -> Counterparty | None` — `/Users/liwimoi/projects/new-knia/knia/perception/cv_tracks.py:102`. Returns the frozen dataclass `Counterparty` (`cv_tracks.py:82-99`) with fields `track, at_impact, score, growth, reason, runners_up` plus the derived property `confident` (`:92-99`, gate = `score >= runners_up[0][1] * 1.6`).
Three consumers: `TimelineResolver` (2 methods), `scripts/run_branch_batch.py:102-127`, `scripts/build_viewer.py:71-73`, plus the two test files.
---
## 1. `cv_timeline.py` — how `counterparty=` is accepted and used
### Constructor — `/Users/liwimoi/projects/new-knia/knia/perception/cv_timeline.py:270-278`
```python
def __init__(self, timeline: Timeline, *, ego: str = "A", clip=None,
counterparty=None):
self.tl = timeline
#: work/tracks 의 원시 박스. 있으면 상대 차량 쪽 슬롯을 채울 수 있다.
self.clip = clip
self.cp = counterparty
self.ego = ego
```
Kept as `self.cp`, untyped (no import of `Counterparty`, no annotation). `self.other` (`:334-336`) is `"B" if self.ego == "A" else "A"` — the counterparty is always bound to the *other* role letter, never to a physical vehicle.
`fill()` (`:296-304`) calls, in order: `_impact`, `_lane_count`, `_ego_lane`, `_counterparty`, `_longitudinal`, `_unseen`.
### Slots filled from the counterparty — `_counterparty` at `:338-417`
Four slot names are hard-coded in **two** places as a tuple (`:350` and `:355`):
```python
for slot in ("path_change_event", "lane_index", "vehicle_class", "stationary"):
```
Concretely:
| slot | where | call form |
|---|---|---|
| `vehicle_class(other)` | `:367-368` | `o.put(..., value=_COCO_TO_KNIA.get(self.cp.track.label, "unkn…

01:15 · repliedThe subagent surfaced decision D70 — exactly this ticket. Let me read it and check my gate eyeball.
01:15 · asked[Image: original 2148x1208, displayed at 2000x1125. Multiply coordinates by 1.07 to map to original image.]
01:16 · repliedWidth gate: 8/8 rejects are dashboard/bonnet strips. Fixture gate: catches parked/static vehicles — correct, since a box that never moves relative to the camera cannot be closing on ego. Let me pin the area ceiling with a denser sample.
01:16 · asked[Image: original 2148x906, displayed at 2000x844. Multiply coordinates by 1.07 to map to original image.]
01:16 · repliedImportant correction to my prior: at impact a genuine counterparty *legitimately* fills much of the frame (9/12 real in 0.40–0.70). The width gate, not the area gate, is the real degenerate killer. Let me check what survives above 0.70.
01:17 · asked[Image: original 2148x604, displayed at 2000x562. Multiply coordinates by 1.07 to map to original image.]
01:17 · repliedGates calibrated: above 0.70 area, 8/8 are whole-scene boxes (only 18 exist corpus-wide). Now let me write the module.
01:17 · repliedNow I'll write the module.
01:21 · repliedNow let me run it over all 688 clips, paired against v1.
01:22 · repliedv1 reproduced exactly (78.7% approaching). Two things need fixing: `late_arrival` is over-triggering and suppressing `absent`, and the margin gate needs placing from my own distribution.
01:22 · repliedThe margin distribution has no clean valley, so I'll place the threshold by *stability* — the same perturbation test the audit used. First, fix late-arrival substantiality.
01:22 · repliedNow the stability sweep — the same perturbation class the audit used — to place the margin threshold.
01:23 · repliedTrack-ID churn inflates that. Let me measure flips by box IoU — "did we pick the same *vehicle*" — the way the audit did.
01:24 · repliedHarmful-flip rate is flat (7.2% vs v1's 7.7%) across all thresholds — so the threshold isn't the lever. Now the eyeball that matters: are the 27 `absent` findings real?
01:24 · repliedStrong signal: 14/27 `absent` clips carry rear-end-from-behind labels. Let me verify by eye rather than trust labels (D36).
01:25 · asked[Image: original 1497x2520, displayed at 1188x2000. Multiply coordinates by 1.26 to map to original image.]
01:25 · repliedTwo of these worry me: a low-speed shunt into a stopped lead, and near-black night frames. Let me check the numbers behind each `absent`.
01:26 · repliedTwo real defects exposed: the size gate uses max-over-window (one bad frame kills a good track), and the fixture gate eats genuine lead vehicles. Let me fix both.
01:26 · repliedNow the vehicle-width path needs per-track aggregation.
01:27 · repliedRow 1 exposes a real defect: at impact the camera has been thrown, but the bus that ego hit was clean 0.7 s earlier. And rows 3–4 show `absent` claimed on near-black frames. Let me fix both.
01:28 · repliedNow the visibility guard — `absent` must not be claimable on a frame where we saw nothing ordinary.
01:28 · repliedAll six audit failure cases now behave sensibly. But I must confirm by eye, plus a random sample of the 405 picks.
01:29 · repliedLet me do the decisive measurement: a paired eyeball of v1 vs v2 picks on the same clips.
01:29 · asked[Image: original 998x2800, displayed at 713x2000. Multiply coordinates by 1.40 to map to original image.]

01:31 · repliedv2 halves the degenerate rate but a residual mode remains: wide bonnet-plus-road boxes. Let me test whether an aspect gate catches them safely.
01:31 · repliedAspect > 3.0 is ~10/12 degenerate. Let me check it won't kill genuine buses/trucks seen side-on.
01:31 · repliedBuses never exceed 2.99; the gate is safe. Let me add it.
01:32 · repliedLet me re-check the previously-degenerate picks with the aspect gate in place.
01:33 · repliedLet me lock in: verify the existing suite still passes, then write tests.
01:33 · repliedThe suite is 469 passed / 8 skipped / **4 pre-existing failures** in `test_calibrate.py` — not the 429/2 the brief cited. Let me confirm they're not mine.
01:34 · replied`calibrate.py` was modified at 10:29 today — someone else is editing concurrently. Let me prove the failures aren't mine.
01:34 · repliedNow fix `choose_spec` — the duty measurement turned out to have no discriminating power.
01:34 · repliedConfirmed identical without my file — pre-existing. Now the tests. Let me match the house style.
01:37 · repliedThree failures — one is a real design bug the test caught. Let me fix the module and the two test artifacts.
01:38 · replied26 passed. Let me re-measure after the fixture fix and run the full suite.
01:38 · repliedFull suite: 497 passed, 8 skipped, 3 pre-existing `test_calibrate` failures (now 3, was 4 — the owner is fixing them concurrently). Let me collect final consolidated numbers for the doc.
01:39 · replied9/11 `absent` clips are rear-end/parked families vs a 20.9% base rate — 3.9× enrichment, and labels were never an input. Let me refresh the stability numbers with the final code.
01:42 · repliedA few doc-comment inaccuracies to correct — the margin comment overclaims a sparse region that my measurement showed doesn't exist.
01:43 · repliedDone. All three files written; `cv-processing` and `cv_tracks.py` untouched (verified clean).
## What I built
`knia/perception/counterparty.py` — a `find_counterparty` that never returns `None`. It returns a `CounterpartyFinding` with two `Fact`s: `identity: Fact[VehicleTrack]` and `presence: Fact[bool]`, where **FALSE = "nothing was approaching" (a finding)** and **UNKNOWN = "we couldn't tell"**. That Kleene split is the whole point of item 3. It keeps v1's field names (`track`/`at_impact`/`growth`/`reason`/`runners_up`/`confident`), so switching the resolver over is an import line.
## Measured on all 688 clips (`work/tracks`, byte-identical to the snapshot — the gate fix is *not* yet regenerated)
| | v1 | v2 |
|---|---:|---:|
| identified | 469 (68.2%) | 403 (58.6%) |
| `absent` | not expressible | 11 (1.6%) |
| abstain | 219 (31.8%) | 274 (39.8%) |
| **confident picks approaching** | **78.7%** | **100%** |
Transition (v1→v2): 306 confident→identified, **153 confident→abstain**, **10 confident→absent**. Of 394 where both pick, 252 same vehicle / 142 different.
**Read the 100% skeptically — it's structural, not an achievement.** Approach is an *admission condition* in v2, so the number can't be anything else; I fixed it as an invariant test rather than quoting it as quality. The real quality number is the eyeball below.
## What the frames say
Paired eyeball, 20 random clips where v1 was confident: **v1 degenerate 11/20 (55%) → v2 6/20 (30%)**, plus v2 abstains on 4 and recovers the *right* vehicle on 5. So **D65 is half-fixed, not fixed.** The residual is one shape: a bonnet-plus-near-road blob (area 20–50%, aspect 2–3) that passes every box-coordinate gate. Distinguishing it needs pixels, not boxes — I've written that up as the v3 step rather than adding an un…

01:44 · repliedCalibration agent still running (37 min) — those 3 failures are its work in progress, not a regression.
The counterparty rebuild landed, and it checked my instruction rather than obeying it.
01:46 · repliedThe counterparty rebuild landed, and the most useful thing in it is that **it tested your correction instead of just implementing it — and found it doesn't pay off.**
It swept all 688 clips for "ego stopped + first appears after impact + crosses frame": **32 clips, 48 tracks. It opened the top four — a passing bus, a passing van, a night blob, a tow truck that was already there. Zero genuine arrivals.** From a forward camera, passing traffic and an arriving counterparty aren't separable. So `late_arrival` is carried as evidence but never confirms anything.
The window still paid off, just not the way either of us expected: it rescues tracks whose box explodes at the impact frame, and it lets us measure **whether ego stopped**.
**The honest numbers, 688 clips:**
```
식별 68.2% → 58.6%
기권 31.8% → 39.8%
absent 0 → 11
확신 중 실제 접근중 78.7% → 100%
```
It told me not to be impressed by the 100% — approach is now an *admission condition*, so it can't be anything else. It fixed that as an invariant test rather than quoting it as quality. **The real number is the eyeball: degenerate picks 11/20 (55%) → 6/20 (30%)**, plus 4 abstentions and 5 cases where it recovered the *right* vehicle. So D65 is half-fixed.
The residual 30% is one shape — a **bonnet-plus-near-road blob** (area 20–50%, aspect 2–3) that passes every box-coordinate test. Separating it needs pixels, not boxes, and it declined to bolt on an uncalibrated gate to hide that.
Its thresholds came from opening stratified samples, including one that argues *against* tightening: **area 0.70 must not go lower — 9 of 12 boxes in the 0.40–0.70 band are genuine**, because a real counterparty at the moment of impact legitimately fills the frame.
**Two things that matter for what's next.** `absent` fires on o…

02:04 · repliedNo — it's not waiting on calibration. I let analysis crowd out the deliverable. Building it now.
02:05 · repliedData's ready — 9 clips where v2 changed the call. Now the page.
02:07 · repliedStub limitation, not a page bug — my mock canvas has no dimensions. Fixing the test harness.

02:08 · replied**https://claude.ai/code/artifact/06ae79b8-d3ad-44e1-9ca6-9380eaed66db**
No, it wasn't waiting on calibration. I let analysis crowd it out — that's on me.
Nine playable clips, deliberately chosen as ones where **v2 overturned v1's confident call**, so the difference is visible rather than buried. Both counterparty picks are drawn at once — **v1 orange, v2 teal** — so you can watch them disagree on the same frame and judge which is right. Toggles for each, plus all tracked vehicles.
Under the player: the v1/v2 comparison side by side, then **the engine's answer** — one chart, a ratio, a confidence grade, and the arithmetic behind it (score, margin over second place, and how far unknowns could swing it). Right panel is every observation slot with its value or its reason for being unknown.
**What it shows honestly, including the bad news.** Of the nine, the committed answer matches the label twice. Four come back **「근거 없음」** — the engine picks something and says outright that nothing supports it. Two are 「약함」. That's the real state, and the confidence grade is what makes it usable rather than misleading.
You can see v2's behaviour change directly: on the 차43-2 and 차42-1 clips it **withdraws to `unknown`** where v1 was confident, and on 차41-1 and 차43-3 it **replaces** a shaky pick with a different vehicle.
**Three things the page says about itself, in the page:**
- **The lane detection is still the old cache.** The gate patches are committed but regenerating needs R2 access, so every lane-derived value here predates the fix.
- **This cache has zero two-wheeler tracks** (`motorbike`/`motorcycle`), so any motorcycle counterparty reads as "absent."
- **The full-corpus numbers**: across all 369 branch clips, **34.4%** have any evidence at all, 21% of those match the labe…

## What was built
**`knia/perception/calibrate.py`** (1,230 lines) — per-clip geometry with σ on every value. `Uncertain` (first-order propagation + PDG-style χ² inflation on disagreement), `ActiveRegion`/`detect_padding`, horizon, width-slope, two independent camera-height paths, dash-pitch range scale, and a `Calibration` whose `ground_range` / `lateral_offset` / `gap_distance` return **intervals, never point estimates**.
## The finding that reframes the brief
The brief asked for focal length, height, pitch. The algebra says those are the wrong three:
- `X = (x−c_x)·H/(y−y_h)` — **lateral metres need no focal length at all**.
- Lane width and vehicle width give `H`, not `f` — that's algebraic, not a limitation. A camera at f=500 and one at f=1500 produce *pixel-identical* lane boundaries (test fixes this).
- What downstream actually needs is **λ = f·H** (longitudinal) and **H** (lateral). `f = λ/H` is never used and is the noisiest number here.

Lane width and vehicle width give you `H`, not `f`; that's an identity, not a shortfall. A camera at f=500 and one at f=1500 produce **pixel-identical** lane boundaries (now a test). What downstream needs is `λ = f·H` longitudinally and `H` laterally. `f` is never used and is the noisiest number in the whole estimate.
**Coverage: horizon 56.2%, lateral scale 52.8%, range scale 54.7%** (13.5% of those from the dashed-line ruler). And the important detail — **the horizon resolves on 387 of 387 clips whose lane fit yields ≥2 frames.** Coverage is bounded *entirely upstream*. The gate patches are the ceiling on this layer too.
**Two independent height paths agree** — median ratio 1.058, pull median 0.26, 2σ containment 82.4%. That mutual agreement is the validation, not a self-reported σ.
**And here's the number that answers your point directly:**
```
T_SUDDEN_CHANGE_GAP 10 m, 밴드 ±4 m ← 우리 오차 ±1.30 m
abreast 여유 0.42 ← 우리 오차 ±0.26 ✅ 산출 가능
T_BLINKER_LEAD_EXPRESSWAY 100 m, ±26 m ← 여전히 불가
```
**`abreast` becomes producible** — the exact slot the longitudinal work declared impossible for want of scale. The error is real and it's smaller than the arbitrariness already baked into the thresholds.
**Measurement caught five of its own defects**, including one σ could never have surfaced: a moving-window normalisation was killing the fundamental and leaving the second harmonic, so **λ came out systematically halved**. Also: vehicle samples counted per-observation inflated √n by 8.…

02:28 · repliedSample is good now — but **median camera height 1.93 m is too high** for a dashcam (~1.2–1.5 m on a passenger car). That belongs on the page, not hidden.

Eight playable clips with the calibration drawn on: **ground-distance rings** (5/10/20/30/40 m) laid on the road with their error bands, the horizon line, and the counterparty labelled live in metres — "8.3 m 앞 · 우 1.4 m". Beside it a **metre-scale BEV panel** showing the other vehicle's trajectory as a thick line inside a shaded uncertainty band that widens with distance, because `Z = λ/(y−y_h)` blows up near the horizon.
**The page shows a problem I'd otherwise have buried.** Estimated camera heights across the eight: `1.17 · 1.22 · 1.38 · 1.54 · 1.93 · 2.14 · 2.18 · 2.22 m`, **median 1.93 m**. A dashcam on a passenger windscreen sits at 1.2–1.5 m; 2.2 m is truck height. **Half the sample is physically implausible.** Two candidate causes — an assumed lane width narrower than the real one (legal widths run 3.0–3.5 m by road class), or a vehicle-width prior that doesn't match the Korean fleet — and I can't yet separate them. That's exactly why "couldn't read 도로의 구조·시설 기준에 관한 규칙 제10조" is the first of its 11 unverified items.
Downstream still holds: λ error is 20–27% against a ±40% band on `T_SUDDEN_CHANGE_GAP`. But `abreast`'s ±0.26 should be read as optimistic until the height bias is resolved.

Segmentation has only ever been assessed here *in passing* — via YOLOPv2's drivable-area head, which `docs/research-placement-geometry.md` notes we **already downloaded and are not using** (mIoU 93.2).

It proposed YOLOPv2's drivable-area head as the v2 fix. **Test that proposal.**

## The correction that prompted this
I built a "BEV" that plots the other vehicle's position **relative to ego's own view**. The project owner corrected me:
> "you said local trajectory in BEV is what you built, but you just plot other vehicle's relative position to ego's view. i'm talking about ego's movement and the other vehicle's movement both on cardinal or 3D space."
They are right, and the distinction is the whole point. **The KNIA charts are drawn in a fixed world frame** — 「후행 직진 대 선행 진로변경」 is a statement about two paths on a road, not about what one windscreen saw. An ego-relative plot cannot express "A changed lane while B held its lane" because in ego coordinates *everything* moves when ego moves.

03:35 · replied**On the height question — yes, class constants survive, and they beat what we're doing.**
First, what's actually affected. **Longitudinal distance doesn't depend on H at all** — `Z = λ/(y−y_h)`, and λ is estimated *directly* from the dashed-line ruler, never decomposed into f×H. Only lateral `X = (x−c_x)·H/(y−y_h)` scales with it, linearly.
Measured across 133 clips, our estimator reports σ = 0.180 m ≈ **11.6%** — but its actual clip-to-clip spread is p10 **1.16 m** → p90 **2.29 m**, a 73% range. A windscreen dashcam sits at 1.2–1.5 m, so **that distribution is physically impossible**. The estimator is worse than its own σ claims.
Class constants:
```
승용(세단) 1.20–1.40 m ±7.7%
SUV·RV 1.40–1.60 m ±6.7%
승합·소형버스 1.75–2.05 m ±7.9%
화물·버스 2.10–2.60 m ±10.6%
```
**Every class is tighter than 11.6%.** And it's free — you told me the insurer knows the client's vehicle, probably the model. So vehicle class is an *input*, not something to infer. `calibrate.py` should take `height_m` optionally and only estimate when it's absent. Caveat: I haven't confirmed those ranges from literature, and they're **ego** heights only — the counterparty's size prior is a separate problem.
**On the video — that changes my answer.** All four are already demonstrated working on Korean footage, and the trajectory pane says exactly what you meant: **ego's own path in a fixed frame**, `forward 32.0 m`, marked **`scale-assumed visual odometry`**. My "BEV" was ego-relative, which literally cannot express 「A changed lane while B held its lane」 — in ego coordinates everything moves when ego moves. You were right.

```
y − y_h = f·H / Z ... (1)
x − cx = f·X / Z ... (2)
X = (x − cx) · H / (y − y_h) ... (3)
w(y) = f·W/Z = W·(y − y_h) / H → p ≡ dw/dy = W/H ... (4)
u(y_b) = Wv·(y_b − y_h) / H → H = Wv·(y_b − y_h)/u ... (5)
s_i ≡ 1/(y_i − y_h) = (Z_0 + i·L)/λ , λ ≡ f·H ... (6)
```
and lines 57-58, the definitional pair:
```
λ = f·H (종방향 척도, px·m) — Z = λ/(y − y_h)
H (횡방향 척도, m) — X = (x − cx)·H/(y − y_h)
```
Doc mirror: `/Users/liwimoi/projects/new-knia/docs/calibration.md:33-38` (same equations 1–5) and `:55-56` (same λ/H pair, identical wording).
- **λ ≡ f·H**, units **px·m**. Longitudinal. Converts an image **row** `y` to **longitudinal ground distance Z in metres**: `Z = λ/(y − y_h)`. Implemented at `calibrate.py:1011` (`z = lam.value / dy`) and inverted at `:1019` (`row_for_range`).
- **H**, units **m** (it is literally the camera height above the road). Lateral. Converts an image **column offset from the principal point** `(x − cx)` at row `y` to **lateral ground distance X in metres**: `X = (x − cx)·H/(y − y_h)`.

SETTING: Korean consumer dashcam accident clips. ~10 second clips, 15-30 fps, 1280x720, single forward monocular camera, ~130 degree FOV with heavy barrel distortion, unknown/uncalibrated intrinsics, night and rain, heavy occlusion, and the ego vehicle is often braking hard or being struck (violent pitch and yaw). Goal: recover ego's 6DoF (or at least SE(2)) path over the 10 seconds.
RESEARCH THESE CANDIDATES and for each report: arXiv ID + GitHub URL + licence + reported benchmark numbers (which benchmark, which metric, exact values) + whether it needs calibrated intrinsics + whether it needs GPU + real-time factor:
1. DPVO (Deep Patch Visual Odometry) — arXiv ID, licence, KITTI/TartanAir/EuRoC numbers. SPECIFICALLY: find evidence about its performance on forward-facing driving / forward translation. Is forward translation its worst case? Find the actual numbers.
2. DPV-SLAM / DPVO with loop closure (the 2024 follow-up)
3. DROID-SLAM — arXiv, licence, KITTI numbers, GPU memory requirements
4. ORB-SLAM3 — arXiv, licence (GPLv3), KITTI monocular numbers, and its known failure modes (scale drift, initialization failure, pure forward motion degeneracy)
5. TartanVO — arXiv, licence, generalization claims, KITTI numbers without finetuning
6. RAFT / RAFT-based VO, and any optical-flow-to-pose method

# 1. The estimator λ = f·H
**Definition** (`/Users/liwimoi/projects/new-knia/knia/perception/calibrate.py:24-58`, mirrored in `/Users/liwimoi/projects/new-knia/docs/calibration.md:33-57`):
Pinhole + flat road + roll 0, camera height `H`, horizon row `y_h`:
```
y − y_h = f·H / Z ... (1)
x − cx = f·X / Z ... (2)
X = (x − cx) · H / (y − y_h) ... (3) ← f cancels
w(y) = f·W/Z = W·(y − y_h)/H → p ≡ dw/dy = W/H ... (4) ← no f
u(y_b) = Wv·(y_b − y_h)/H → H = Wv·(y_b − y_h)/u ... (5) ← no f
s_i ≡ 1/(y_i − y_h) = (Z_0 + i·L)/λ, λ ≡ f·H ... (6)
```
The two constants actually estimated are **not `f` and `H`** but:
```
λ = f·H (longitudinal scale, px·m) — Z = λ/(y − y_h)
H (lateral scale, m) — X = (x − cx)·H/(y − y_h)
```
`f = λ/H` is computed but **never used downstream** (`calibrate.py:60-63`, doc line 59; field comment `calibrate.py:968` "하류에서 쓰이지 않는다").
**Pixel → metric conversions, exact code:**
- `Calibration.ground_range(y)` — `calibrate.py:988-1013`. `dy = y − y_h.value`; returns `None` if `dy <= max(4.0, k*σ_yh*2)` (line 1008). `z = lam.value / dy`; `rel = hypot(lam.rel, yh.sigma/dy)` (line 1012); interval `(z, z(1−k·rel), z(1+k·rel))`.
- `row_for_range(z)` — line 1015-1019: `y = y_h + λ/z`.
- `lateral_offset(x, y)` — line 1021-1038: `X = (x − active.cx)·H/dy`; `roll_px = |dx|·tan(2.0°)`; `rel = hypot(H.rel, hypot(σ_yh, roll_px)/dy)`; half-width `k·|X|·rel`. Requires `dy > 4.0`. **Uses `active.cx`, the active-region center, not the frame center** (assumption A3).
- `gap_distance(y_near, y_far)` — line 1040-1058. `gap = Z_far − Z_near`; `∂gap/∂y_h = λ(1/d_far² − 1/d_near²)` (line 1055-1056, partial cancellation); `sig = hypot…

**A. PURE FORWARD MOTION DEGENERACY IN MONOCULAR VO / STRUCTURE FROM MOTION.**
The geometric problem: when the camera translates along its optical axis, the epipole (focus of expansion) sits at the image centre, parallax vanishes near the FOE, and translation-direction estimation is ill-conditioned.

Named family (line 254): "3D lane detection (PersFormer → Anchor3DLane → LATR → 2025 work such as Depth3DLane, DB3D-L) gives lane geometry in metric BEV directly."
**The distortion-based kill of the depth family, §3.2(a), lines 474–476:**
> "**A consumer dashcam is out of distribution.** ~130° FOV with strong barrel distortion violates the pinhole model that every one of these networks assumes, and their training data is overwhelmingly ~50–90° rectified imagery."
**The architectural pre-emption, §0, lines 96–99:**
> "Consumer dashcams have unknown intrinsics and ~130° lenses with strong barrel distortion; a pipeline that requires calibration will not survive first contact with real claim footage."
Supporting numbers around it:
- Wide-angle penalty, lines 425–428: "a 130° dashcam lens means a *low* focal length in pixels, so every target is smaller in pixels than it would be on a normal lens, and every size-based range estimate is correspondingly worse. Wide FOV is not free."
- Depth AbsRel→metres table, lines 458–462: AbsRel 0.05 → ±0.25/0.5/1.0/1.5 m at 5/10/20/30 m; 0.15 → ±0.75/1.5/3.…

03:40 · repliedSearch budget is exhausted for this session. Let me test whether WebFetch still works — I can go directly to arXiv IDs I know.
03:40 · repliedI need the actual loss formulation from MiDaS, not just the abstract.
03:41 · repliedTwo important finds. Let me check the ground-truth dataset availability.
03:41 · repliedKey anchor found. Now the full paper details.
03:41 · askedYou are gathering REAL, CITABLE prior art for a specific proposed system: recover monocular ego-trajectory from a Korean consumer dashcam accident clip (~10s), and FIX THE UNKNOWN METRIC SCALE using a known real-world size prior — camera mounting height above the road, standard lane width, or road marking dimensions (Korean road markings and lane widths are standardized).
Use WebSearch and WebFetch AGGRESSIVELY. Fetch arXiv abstract + full text, IEEE/Springer/ScienceDirect abstract pages, GitHub repos, and Google Scholar result pages. READ ACTUAL RESULT TABLES.
**NEVER INVENT A NUMBER.** If you cannot find one, write exactly "not found". Every number needs a source (arXiv ID / DOI / URL) plus the exact benchmark and metric. Flag DRIVING benchmarks (KITTI, Oxford RobotCar, nuScenes, Malaga) vs other.
TWO SUB-QUESTIONS:
**H. FUSING A KNOWN METRIC SCALE PRIOR (CAMERA HEIGHT / GROUND PLANE / LANE WIDTH / ROAD MARKINGS) WITH MONOCULAR VO.**
This is exactly our proposed approach, so I need thorough prior art.
- **Ground-plane / camera-height scale recovery.** This is a well-established line of work.

03:41 · repliedDepth respects the ground-plane ordering — good. Let me check the doc house style while the research agents run.
03:41 · repliedSearch budget is exhausted, but WebFetch still works. I'll drive searches through fetchable search endpoints (arXiv API, DuckDuckGo HTML, Semantic Scholar API).
03:41 · repliedExcellent data. Now the affine scale+shift alignment question and more classic VO works.
03:41 · askedResearch task: find VERIFIABLE, cited evidence on the ROBUSTNESS OF DENSE OPTICAL FLOW IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS (night / low light, rain, fog, snow). This is for a technical evaluation doc. Every number you report MUST come with a source (arXiv ID + URL, GitHub URL, or benchmark leaderboard URL). DO NOT INVENT OR ESTIMATE NUMBERS. If you cannot verify something, say "could not verify" explicitly.
IMPORTANT CONSTRAINT: the WebSearch tool budget for this session is EXHAUSTED — WebSearch calls will fail. You must use WebFetch only. Use the arXiv API as your search engine, e.g.:
http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=all:%22nighttime%20optical%20flow%22&max_results=15
(URL-encode quotes as %22 and spaces as %20; you can use ti:, abs:, all: fields and AND/OR). Then WebFetch arxiv.org/abs/ID or ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/ID (ar5iv renders full text + tables, best for extracting table numbers). Also fetch openaccess.thecvf.com paper pages and GitHub repos directly.
Cover specifically:
1. "Optical Flow in the Dark" (Zheng et al., CVPR 2020) and its journal/extended version — arXiv ID, the dataset they built (VBOF?), and the MEASURED degradation: what EPE do standard methods (PWC-Net, RAFT, FlowNet) get on normal-light vs low-light/dark images? Get exact table numbers.
2. "Semi-Supervised Nighttime Optical Flow" / any 2023-2026 nighttime flow papers (e.g. Zhou et al., "Unsupervised/Semi-supervised nighttime optical flow", NeurIPS/CVPR/ICCV). arXiv IDs + measured day-vs-night EPE numbers.
3. Rain / adverse weather optical flow: any benchmark or paper measuring flow EPE under rain, fog, snow. Check for papers using the "Seeing Through Fog" / DENSE dataset, "Robust Optical Flow in Rainy Scenes" (ECCV 2018?), rain-streak removal for flow, and any "adverse weather optical flo…

03:41 · repliedVerified md4all fully. Now the RobotCar-Night line of work — using the arXiv API as a search substitute.
03:41 · repliedDytanVO's dynamic-fraction claim is the gold nugget — I need it verbatim, not paraphrased.
03:41 · repliedImportant finding on VGGT commercial checkpoint. Let me dig into licenses and the remaining models.
03:41 · repliedWebSearch budget for the session is exhausted, but WebFetch works. Let me notify the running agents of the workaround and continue via arXiv's API.
03:42 · repliedI read both files in full plus the supporting spec files, and computed the chart counts mechanically (parsing `branch.guards.yaml`, expanding `predicates.yaml` transitively down to observation slots, then attributing to charts). Numbers below are counts, not estimates.

Cover:
1. Papers on fisheye / omnidirectional / equirectangular optical flow. Do any of them MEASURE the accuracy drop of a standard perspective-trained flow net (RAFT, PWC-Net, FlowNet) applied directly to fisheye/distorted images vs the same scene undistorted or vs a distortion-aware model? Get exact EPE table numbers.
2. Specific things to check: "OmniFlowNet", "FisheyeFlowNet", "LiteFlowNet on fisheye", "360 optical flow" / "OmniFlow" / "FLOW360" dataset, "Distortion-aware optical flow", "Woodscape" fisheye automotive dataset (Valeo) — does WoodScape provide flow ground truth and any flow baselines? Also "SynWoodScape" (arXiv) which I believe adds optical flow ground truth to WoodScape — confirm and get details.

## 1. §2.2 of `research-kinematics-stop-start.md` — the `u = 1/(row − horizon)` result
**Location:** `/Users/liwimoi/projects/new-knia/docs/research-kinematics-stop-start.md:151-183` (§2.2 「노면이 정지 기준점이다 — `f`와 `h`가 소거된다」)
### The result itself (lines 153-171, verbatim)
> 수평선 행 `y₀`를 알면, 노면 위 한 점의 수평선 아래 행 `d = r − y₀`에 대해 `Z = f·h/d`.
> **여기서 `u ≡ 1/d`를 쓰면 `u = Z/(f·h)` — 즉 `u`는 미터 거리에 비례하는 좌표다.**
>
> 자차가 구간 `[t₀,t₁]`에 `D`만큼 전진했다면, **모든 정지 물체**에 대해
>
> ```
> u(t₀) − u(t₁) = D / (f·h) ← 깊이와 무관한 공통 상수
> ```
>
> 즉 **정지한 물체는 깊이가 얼마든 `u`가 같은 양만큼 줄어든다.** 이것이 검정이다.
>
> ```
> 표적이 정지해 있다 ⟺ Δu_표적 = Δu_노면
> ```
>
> `f`도 `h`도 좌변·우변에 같은 인수로 들어가 **완전히 소거된다.** 캘리브레이션 불필요,
> 초점거리 불필요, 카메라 높이 불필요, 미터 불필요. **필요한 것은 수평선 행 `y₀` 하나다.**
### The "road reference, not scale" claim
Stated three times:
- Summary point 1, lines 15-19: 「**정지 판정은 스케일 문제가 아니다.** … 상대 차량의 접지점과 노면 자체를 같은 좌표에서 비교하면 초점거리 `f`와 카메라 높이 `h`가 **정확히 소거된다.** 필요한 것은 절대 스케일이 아니라 **정지 기준점(노면)** 하나다. (§2.2)」
- §2.1 lines 148-150 (the impossibility result that motivates it): 「**깊이 추정 모델도, VO도, 표적을 아무리 정교하게 봐도 이 벽을 넘지 못한다.** 벽을 넘는 유일한 길이 §2.2다.」
- §2.3 line 209: 「**모델을 사 오지 말고 노면을 쓰라.**」
Also self-consistency of the horizon error (lines 173-177): 「**`ε`은 관측 가능하고, 그 잔차 산포가 그대로 우리 오차막대이자 UNKNOWN 조건이 된다.**」 and lines 179-183: box-bottom systematic error is mathematically identical to horizon error; 「현실적 `ε`는 2~5px이고, **이것이 지배 오차다.**」

03:42 · repliedSandbox blocks network. Using WebFetch against the arXiv API.
03:42 · repliedUniDepth's repo appears to have non-pinhole camera classes. Let me verify directly in the source, and pull the fisheye papers' actual numbers.
03:42 · askedResearch task: build a VERIFIED comparison table of monocular depth accuracy on DRIVING datasets — KITTI, nuScenes, DDAD — for modern foundation depth models. Use WebSearch and WebFetch.
CRITICAL RULES:
- Do NOT invent, estimate, interpolate, or "recall" any number. Every single number must be traceable to a specific source: arXiv ID + the specific TABLE NUMBER it came from, or a GitHub README, or a leaderboard URL.
- Prefer reading the actual paper text: use arxiv.org/abs/ID, https://arxiv.org/pdf/ID, or the HTML versions at https://arxiv.org/html/ID or https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/ID. ar5iv and arxiv/html render tables as text, which is what you need.
- If a number is not findable, write "NOT FOUND" for that cell. Do not fill it in.
- Flag clearly for every number whether it is ZERO-SHOT (model never trained/fine-tuned on that dataset) or FINE-TUNED / IN-DOMAIN. This distinction is the whole point of the exercise. Papers often mix both in one table — read the caption carefully and report the caption's wording.
- Also record the EVALUATION PROTOCOL where stated: is the prediction median-scaled / scale-and-shift aligned to GT before computing AbsRel, or is it evaluated as raw metric output? Also the depth cap (80m? 50m?) and the crop (Garg crop / Eigen crop) if stated. Two AbsRel numbers computed under different protocols are not comparable and I need to know which is which.
Models to cover:
- Depth Anything V2 (arXiv 2406.09414), including its metric fine-tunes (the KITTI/vKITTI outdoor metric model)
- Metric3D (arXiv 2307.10984) and Metric3D v2 (arXiv 2404.15506)

- Depth Pro (arXiv 2410.02073)
- ZoeDepth (arXiv 2302.12288) as a baseline

03:43 · replied## 1. `docs/research-placement-geometry.md`
### (a) UFLDv2 structurally cannot express 갓길 — the CULane 4-slot argument
Headline conclusion, `research-placement-geometry.md:36-39`:
> 6. **`in_shoulder` 는 지금 있는 것으로 `true` 를 낼 수 없다.** UFLDv2 는 CULane 4슬롯
> 고정이고, 슬롯은 **자차 기준 좌우 한 칸씩**만 덮으며 어떤 슬롯에도 "이것은 505번
> 길가장자리구역선"이라는 의미가 붙어 있지 않다. 그러나 **`false` 는 낼 수 있고, `false`
> 만으로 차42-1 대 차42-3 갈림길의 절반이 풀린다.** 이 비대칭이 v1 의 전부다. (§3.5)
The three-fact argument, `:523-538` (§3.2 "UFLDv2 는 갓길선을 낼 수 있는가 — 구조적 답" / answer: **"부분적으로만, 그리고 의미 없이."**):
1. `:529-532` — *"we focus our attention on the detection of four lane markings … Other lane markings are not annotated"* (CULane official page + arXiv:1712.06080)
2. `:533-535` — `configs/culane_res18.py` 의 `num_lanes = 4`; our own `ufld.py` has `NUM_LANE_ROW = NUM_LANE_COL = 4`, `EGO_LEFT, EGO_RIGHT = 1, 2`, `index_map = {0:-1, 1:0, 2:1, 3:2}`
3. `:536-538` — "어떤 슬롯에도 의미가 붙어 있지 않다. CULane 라벨은 위치뿐이고 종류·색이 없다"
The ego-position table, `:542-547`:
| 자차 위치 (편도 3차로 + 갓길) | 갓길선이 잡히는 슬롯 | 결과 |
|---|---|---|
| 3차로(가장 오른쪽) | 슬롯 2 (자차 우측 경계) | 잡힘. 단 의미 없음 |
| 2차로 | 슬롯 3 | 잡힘. 단 의미 없음 |
| 1차로 | **없음** | **구조적으로 표현 불가** |
| 갓길 (차43-6) | 슬롯 1 이 갓길선이 됨 — 자차 좌측 경계 | 라벨 반전. 자차 차로 개념 자체가 깨짐 |
`:553-554`: **"결론: UFLDv2 만으로는 `in_shoulder = true` 를 낼 수 없다.** 위치는 나오지만 의미가 없고, 의미가 없으면 "차로 밖"과 "갓길"과 "검출 실패"를 구별할 수 없다."
Verdict table `:1023-1025`: `in_shoulder — false` = **NEEDS WORK (달성 가능)**; `in_shoulder — true` = **NEEDS WORK (v1 불가)**, dominant failure "UFLDv2 4슬롯에 의미가 없음"; `표지 없는 일반도로` = **불가**.

03:44 · askedWeb research task. I need VERIFIED facts with links — arXiv IDs, GitHub URLs, official leaderboard/paper numbers. Never invent a number. If you cannot verify something, say so explicitly.
Topic: semantic segmentation models and datasets for driving scenes, evaluated for a Korean dashcam fault-analysis PoC. Licensing is NOT a constraint (PoC), so include Cityscapes/BDD100K-trained weights.
Please establish:
## A. Class taxonomies — the shoulder question
For each of these datasets, get the ACTUAL class list (from the official paper or repo, cite where):
1. **Cityscapes** (19 eval classes / 30 labels) — exact list. Does anything correspond to a road shoulder / hard shoulder / 갓길? What exactly does `terrain` and `sidewalk` cover per the official labeling policy?
2. **BDD100K** — semantic segmentation (how many classes, is it Cityscapes-compatible?) AND the separate **drivable area** task: what are its categories ("direct"/"alternative"?), and how does the official annotation guideline define them? Crucially: does BDD100K drivable area include the shoulder / road edge, or is it lane-of-travel only?
3. **Mapillary Vistas** (v1.2 = 66 classes, v2.0 = 124 classes) — get the class list. I specifically want to know whether there is a class for road shoulder, curb, curb cut, parking, service lane, lane marking (general / crosswalk / symbol), and any AREA marking class.
4. **IDD (India Driving Dataset)** — it famously has `drivable fallback` and `non-drivable fallback` classes for unstructured road edges. Confirm the exact class names and level hierarchy, and cite the paper (arXiv ID).
5. **ACDC (Adverse Conditions Dataset with Correspondences)** — night/rain/fog/snow, Cityscapes-compatible. arXiv ID, number of images per condition, and the best-reported mIoU numbers and how muc…

03:44 · askedWeb research task. I need VERIFIED facts with links — arXiv IDs, GitHub URLs, paper numbers. Never invent a number. If you cannot verify, say so explicitly.
Context: evaluating promptable / class-agnostic segmentation for a Korean dashcam accident fault-analysis PoC (consumer dashcam, 15-30 fps, 10-second clips, night and rain, ~130 degree barrel distortion, heavy occlusion). Licensing is not a constraint.
## A. SAM and SAM2
1. **SAM (Segment Anything)** — arXiv ID, GitHub, model sizes (ViT-B/L/H) and param counts, image-encoder latency, license, and what prompts it accepts (point/box/mask/text?). Key: SAM outputs masks with NO class labels. Confirm this from the paper.
2. **SAM 2** — arXiv ID, GitHub, model variants (tiny/small/base+/large), reported FPS, the video memory/streaming architecture, the SA-V dataset size, and reported video object segmentation benchmark numbers (e.g. on DAVIS / MOSE / SA-V val, J&F). License (Apache 2.0?).
3. **SAM 3** — does it exist as of mid-2026? If yes: arXiv/paper, what it adds (concept prompting / open-vocabulary?), numbers. If you cannot verify it exists, say so plainly. Do not guess.
4. **Semantic labeling on top of SAM**: Grounded-SAM / Grounding DINO, SEEM, Semantic-SAM, SAM-CLIP, RAP-SAM — for each, arXiv ID + GitHub + what it actually adds. Which of these can take a TEXT prompt like "road shoulder" or "hatched road marking" and return a mask?
5. **Known SAM failure modes** relevant to us: performance on thin structures, low contrast, motion blur, night imagery, and on large amorphous "stuff" regions (road surface) vs "things". Cite any paper that benchmarks SAM on driving / adverse conditions (e.g., "SAM on autonomous driving", "Can SAM segment anything in adverse weather").

VO(모양, 스케일 없음) × 우리 λ(미터 스케일) → 자차 경로를 미터로
자차 경로 + 상대의 자차상대 위치 → **두 차량이 하나의 세계 좌표계에**
담당자가 지적한 것이 이것이다 — 도표는 **고정 좌표계**로 그려진 그림이고, 자차 상대 좌표로는 「A는 진로변경했고 B는 차로를 지켰다」를 표현할 수 없다. 자차가 움직이면 자차 좌표에서는 **모든 것이** 움직이기 때문이다.
참고 영상 `~/Downloads/0804/vision_trajectory.mp4` 의 우하단 패널 각주가 **`scale-assumed visual odometry`** 라고 적혀 있다 — 바로 그 「스케일 가정」을 우리 λ 가 채우는지가 이 문서의 핵심이다. 오차 예산을 끝까지 계산하라.
10초 클립이라는 점을 잊지 마라 — 드리프트 적분 구간이 매우 짧다. 다만 자차가 **급제동 중이거나 충격을 받는 중**이라 정확히 그 순간에 격한 피치·요가 있다. 수치는 지어내지 말고 출처를 밝혀라.

**IMPORTANT — budget routing.** WebSearch quota may be exhausted. If WebSearch fails, WebFetch still works. Use these directly:
- arXiv API: `http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=all:%22segment+anything%22&max_results=20`
- arXiv abs pages: `https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.11434`
- Semantic Scholar: `https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/search?query=...&fields=title,abstract,externalIds,year,url`
- Crossref: `https://api.crossref.org/works?query=...`
- Raw GitHub files for class lists, e.g. mmsegmentation dataset METAINFO files under `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmsegmentation/main/mmseg/datasets/`
Prefer WebFetch on raw files/APIs over WebSearch throughout.
Context: Korean dashcam accident fault-analysis PoC. Consumer dashcam, ~130 deg diagonal FOV with strong uncorrected barrel distortion, 15-30fps, 10s clips, day/night/rain. Licensing is NOT a constraint. We must decide whether to add a semantic segmentation model, and specifically whether any public class taxonomy can express a Korean **갓길 (road shoulder)**, whose boundary is a *painted line* (길가장자리구역선), not a material change.
## A. Class taxonomies — the shoulder question (HIGHEST PRIORITY)

04:08 · repliedAll restarted — **zero failed, six running**, and one has already spawned a fresh sub-agent, which is the sign they're picking up where they stopped rather than restarting cold.
The three top-level ones (flow+depth, segmentation, world-frame trajectory) plus two sub-agents that were still listed. The other sub-agents had already been reclaimed, so I told each parent to re-spawn whatever it still needs rather than settle for what it had.
I passed along what each was mid-sentence on, so nothing gets rediscovered:
- **DPVO never evaluates on KITTI at all** — that was a live finding when the drift agent died
- **WoodScape's public release has no dense depth GT** — settled, from the fisheye agent
- **Glob3R evaluates on large-scale driving** — the lead the 3D-foundation survey was chasing
- A rate-limit workaround they'd worked out between themselves: WebSearch runs dry but **WebFetch survives**, so hit arXiv's search endpoint directly, or Semantic Scholar / Crossref. Bash has no network.
I also told all of them to **write the document first and improve it after** — none of the three top-level docs exist yet, and an incomplete file beats an empty one if a limit lands again.
And I repeated the standing instruction, since these are exactly the questions where it's tempting to bail: don't invent numbers, cite primary sources with links, name what you couldn't verify — and "it can't be done" is a valid conclusion only when it's argued from evidence, not from missing calibration, since we have calibration now.

CONTEXT: The question is whether monocular depth estimation can resolve small/low objects on a road — concretely, a ~30 cm object (road debris, a lost cargo item, a tire fragment) at ~20 m range from a forward dashcam. This is for an obstacle-detection feasibility analysis.
TASK — investigate and cite:
1. **SegmentMeIfYouCan** benchmark (Chan et al., NeurIPS 2021 Datasets & Benchmarks) — I believe arXiv 2104.14812, VERIFY. It contains the **RoadObstacle21** and **RoadAnomaly21** tracks. Get: what object sizes/distances it covers, the benchmark metrics (AUPRC, FPR95, sIoU, PPV, F1), and any stated object-size statistics (e.g. median obstacle size in pixels). Check segmentmeifyoucan.com for the leaderboard and whether any DEPTH-based method appears.
2. **Fishyscapes** (Blum et al.) — verify arXiv ID and what it measures (Lost and Found / FS Static).
3. **Lost and Found** (Pinggera et al., IROS 2016) — the original small-road-obstacle dataset. This is STEREO-based. Get:…

=== TASK A: METRIC-SCALE MONOCULAR VO ===
Find methods that output ABSOLUTE METRIC SCALE from a single camera (ideally uncalibrated). Search terms: "metric scale monocular visual odometry", "scale-aware visual odometry", "absolute scale recovery monocular", "scale recovery ground plane camera height", "metric depth foundation model" (Metric3D / Metric3Dv2 / UniDepth / ZoeDepth / Depth Pro / Depth Anything V2 metric heads).
For each: arXiv ID, licence, HOW it recovers scale (known camera height above ground plane? learned metric depth prior? IMU? object size prior?), what it assumes (calibrated intrinsics? known camera height? flat ground?), and exact accuracy numbers on DRIVING data (KITTI odometry translation error %, or KITTI depth Abs Rel / delta<1.25).

04:11 · repliedarXiv's search UI works. Note: "plane-induced homography" returns zero arXiv results — a finding in itself. Let me dig into the night paper's tables and search more terms.
04:11 · repliedImportant discrepancy on the headline number — two Monodepth2 rows. Let me resolve it precisely.
04:11 · repliedThat DA-2K result is important — 97.3% on "adverse style" but it only measures pairwise ordinal ranking. Let me cross-check the nuScenes comparison.
04:11 · repliedThese are real, highly relevant papers. Let me extract their result tables.

Leads I have already VERIFIED myself — do not re-verify, just build on them:
- UniDepth repo (github.com/lpiccinelli-eth/UniDepth, CC BY-NC 4.0) ships explicit camera classes for V2 including "Pinhole" and "Fisheye624" (params fx,fy,cx,cy,d1..d6,t1,t2,s1..s4), and intrinsics are OPTIONAL at inference (it can predict them) but can be supplied.
- UniDepthV2 is arXiv 2502.20110 (Piccinelli et al.), adds edge-guided loss, simplified architecture, uncertainty output.
- Metric3D v2 (arXiv 2404.15506, TPAMI 2024) states plainly: "we simplify the scenario by assuming known focal lengths for the training/test images" — i.e. intrinsics required; canonical focal length 1000 px; pinhole assumption.
- arXiv 2603.27105 "UniDAC: Universal Metric Depth Estimation for Any Camera" (Ganesan et al., Mar 2026) is directly on-topic: prior methods "struggle with generalization across diverse camera types, such as fisheye and 360° cameras"; decouples into relative depth + spatially varying scale; introduces RoPE-phi distortion-aware positional embedding.

Crossref (https://api.crossref.org/works?query=...) for DOIs. Bash has no network.
Leads I have already VERIFIED myself — build on these rather than re-deriving:
- MiDaS (arXiv 1907.01341, TPAMI 2022) defines the alignment you need. Its scale-and-shift-invariant loss solves (s,t) = argmin sum_i (s*d_i + t - d*_i)^2 in closed form as h_opt = (sum d_vec_i d_vec_i^T)^-1 (sum d_vec_i d*_i) with d_vec_i = (d_i, 1)^T. Prediction is in DISPARITY space, "inverse depth up to scale and shift".
- Depth Anything V2 (arXiv 2406.09414) states outright "our models produce affine-invariant inverse depth" and uses the same MiDaS ssi loss. So it is scale AND shift, not scale only. This is settled — you do not need to chase it.

- Depth Pro is arXiv 2410.02073, "Depth Pro: Sharp Monocular Metric Depth in Less Than a Second" (Bochkovskii et al., Apple). Its Table 2 boundary metrics are F1 for datasets with depth GT and boundary RECALL for matting/segmentation datasets: Sintel F1 0.409, Spring F1 0.079, iBims F1 0.176, AM-2k recall 0.173, P3M-10k recall 0.168, DIS-5k recall 0.077. Note how LOW these absolute values are — that is worth commenting on.
- Note that all of Depth Pro's boundary datasets are matting/segmentation/synthetic sets, NOT road scenes with small obstacles. If that gap is real, say so explicitly — it is a useful negative finding for this evaluation.

04:14 · repliedUniDepthV2 Table II is the richest single source — it re-evaluates all competitors on nuScenes/DDAD under one protocol. Let me get its KITTI tables and protocol.
04:14 · repliedClean. Now licenses and the ORB-SLAM2 KITTI monocular table.
04:14 · repliedSection A is essentially complete. Now section B — verifying model facts via the arXiv API.
04:14 · repliedVerified textbook grounding for item 6 — H&Z Ch.13 "Scene planes and homographies". Now homography accuracy numbers and remaining night data.
04:14 · repliedExcellent find. Now fetching the SAE papers and the earlier NAFE matchmoving methodology paper.
04:14 · repliedMapillary hatched classes confirmed. Now the v2.0 details and Section A4/A5/A6.
04:14 · repliedCore material is gathered. Waiting on the three parallel sub-investigations.
04:14 · repliedThe text mentions "δ1_SSI" which would change the protocol entirely. Let me pin that down.
04:15 · repliedThe night-robustness agent returned. Let me close out the ground-plane scale question.
04:15 · repliedOne more critical protocol question: are these relative-depth AbsRel numbers computed after oracle alignment to ground truth?
04:15 · repliedThe `S.FoVDist` (small FoV *with distortion*) column is the single most relevant benchmark for a 130° dashcam. Let me pull it.
04:15 · repliedLet me pull the remaining leaderboard rows and SEA-RAFT's parameter counts.
04:15 · repliedNow Metric3D v2 and Metric3D v1, plus resolving the δ1_SSI ambiguity.
04:15 · repliedLet me verify Depth Pro's tables myself from the local PDF while the APIs cool down.
04:15 · repliedTartanVO is BSD-3. My license loop broke early — let me redo it and get ORB-SLAM1's monocular KITTI numbers.
04:15 · repliedAll six confirmed. Now let me scan all of them for driving benchmarks.
04:15 · repliedThe old band survives — but in `fit_lane_model_from_masks`, a *different* function from the one we patched. Let me check whether that path is live.
04:15 · repliedSubagent slots are full. Continuing solo with paced WebFetch.
04:15 · repliedNow the key item — a same-method day→night degradation factor.
04:15 · repliedConfirmed the δ1^SSI notation is literal in the source — I'll flag that. Now dumping Metric3D v2's tables.
04:15 · repliedTwo final checks — verifying the Metric3Dv2 intrinsics claim myself, and the newest fisheye work's code/licence.
04:15 · repliedCrossref carries the SAE abstracts. Running a bulk sweep with abstract extraction.
04:15 · repliedarXiv is rate-limiting. Switching to GitHub sources for Section A4 while it cools down.
04:15 · repliedarXiv's API is rate-limited; I'll use arxiv.org's search UI instead, which responded fine.
04:15 · repliedMetric3D v2 captured. Now verifying its training set, and resolving the Metric3D v1 Table 1 question.
04:15 · replied**`fit_lane_model_from_masks` is dead code** — never called. The mask path was superseded by UFLDv2 instances and left behind. My test should scope to the live function.
04:15 · repliedDepth Pro is already local (ICLR 2025). Let me extract KITTI tables from all three.
04:15 · repliedA clean day→night factor isn't in these sources. Let me try constructing one via SMURF's daylight KITTI baseline.
04:15 · repliedMonST3R done. Now MegaSaM.
04:15 · repliedarXiv is throttling. I'll run a backoff-retry search job in the background and work specific papers in parallel.
04:15 · repliedMajor find — Terpstra 2024 moving-camera + aerial LiDAR. Pulling full abstracts and continuing the sweep.
04:15 · repliedMetric3D v1 Table 1 caption resolves the question: "Both datasets are unseen to our model" → zero-shot. Let me get its numbers plus Depth Anything V2 and ZoeDepth.

# Monocular depth robustness at night / in rain — verified findings
**Method note:** WebSearch budget was exhausted at the start, so all of this came from direct WebFetch of arXiv abstract pages, arXiv/ar5iv HTML full text, and project pages. Bash has no network in this sandbox. Item 5 (Depth Anything V2 / DA-2K) was covered by a peer session; my independent read of the paper agrees with it, and I include it below marked as such.
## 0. Correction to your premise

04:16 · repliedLet me verify the focal length figure I used for the pitch-to-pixels conversion.
04:16 · repliedThe peer session is concurrently hammering arXiv — that explains the 429s. My backoff job is still running. Let me pull specific PDFs.
04:16 · repliedRate-limited. Let me make one final attempt on the remaining gaps.
04:16 · repliedThe user's guessed ID for md4all is wrong — that ID is a different paper. Let me find the real one.

04:17 · repliedKineticorp's paper PDFs are archived. Pulling the full list and downloading the video-analysis ones.
04:17 · repliedmd4all gives me the clean day→night degradation. Now the core question — backup on metric-prior fusion.

04:17 · repliedLet me try rendering the figure pages to actually read the error-vs-path-length curves.
04:17 · repliedarXiv is back. Pulling abstracts in bulk.

04:17 · repliedFound the key paper for Q3. Getting its numbers.
04:17 · repliedWhile the external research runs, let me measure the reference trajectory's lateral excursion — the ego visibly drives straight, so this bounds yaw behaviour.

# Fisheye / wide-FOV monocular depth — findings
**Method + one honesty caveat up front.** WebSearch budget was exhausted at the start, so everything below came from WebFetch against the arXiv API, arXiv abs/HTML pages, and GitHub raw files. WebFetch returns content *through a summarizer model*, so while every item below traces to a real URL I fetched, exact table digits carry a small transcription risk I could not eliminate by grepping raw text (Bash has no network here). I mark where that risk matters. `curl` is sandboxed — no network from Bash.

04:17 · asked[Image: original 1854x2400, displayed at 1545x2000. Multiply coordinates by 1.20 to map to original image.]
04:18 · repliedTopics 1–4 are complete and fully sourced. Let me wait for the three parallel tracks to report.
04:18 · repliedarXiv API is rate-limited (agents are using it too). Switching to Semantic Scholar for the classic scale-recovery references.
04:18 · repliedThis figure is decisive for Task B. Let me zoom in to read exact values.
04:18 · replied**Port done. 507 tests passing.**
There turned out to be almost nothing to copy — the gate v1/v2 logic *originated* here in `lane_gate.py` and went upstream, and the motorbike spelling is already in `_COCO_TO_KNIA`. Only `VEHICLE_LABELS` was genuinely missing.
So I built the thing that actually matters instead: **`knia/perception/upstream.py` + a parity test that reads cv-processing's source and fails if the two copies diverge.** Constants can't be imported (no torch here), so it regex-reads them — and if the regex breaks it **fails rather than silently passing**. All four agree today: `horizon_max 0.72 · p_min 0.55 · p_max 4.50 · support_min 2.0`, plus the six vehicle labels.
**And the test immediately found something.** The old broken band — `np.linspace(frame_h * 0.55, frame_h * 0.98, 12)` — **is still upstream**, in `fit_lane_model_from_masks`. But that function is **never called**: both call sites use `fit_lane_model_from_instances`. The mask path (YOLOPv2) was superseded by UFLDv2 and left behind.
That explains something we couldn't explain before: the audit recommended porting the mask path's width-monotonicity check to the instance path, and the implementer measured that it **filters exactly zero**. Now we know why — **it's dead code that was never validated in production.** I scoped the test to the live function and added a second one that fails if the mask path is ever called again, since resurrecting it brings the old gate back with it.

Two depth agents also finished, and both push back on framing:
**Night is a ~2× problem; rain is ~1.25×.** Treating them as one bucket over-engineers rain. The sharpest result is a warning: naively fine-tuning a photometric self-supervised model *on* night footage takes Monodepth2 from AbsRel 0.148 → **2.333, a 15.8…
04:18 · repliedNow let me check licences and hunt for Glob3R.
04:18 · repliedMonitor is running in the background. Meanwhile, a gap none of the tracks covers: initialization requirements for 10-second clips.
04:18 · repliedAll external sources are now rate-limited, so I'll report on what I verified. Here are the findings.

Two Sintel-final numbers exist (3.18 vs 2.855). The abstract and the public leaderboard both carry 2.855; the results table carries 3.18. RAFT reports a two-frame and a warm-start variant — that the 2.855 row is the warm-start one is my **inference, 미확인**.
**Licensing — the important split:**
- **Code: BSD 3-Clause**, "Copyright (c) 2020, princeton-vl" — verified at <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/princeton-vl/RAFT/master/LICENSE>. Permissive, commercial use fine.

04:20 · repliedThe peer's one ask is a specific, answerable question. Let me get the DepthAnything-AC paper's evaluation protocol.
04:21 · repliedThe document is complete at 550+ lines. While the web agents finish external verification, here's where things stand:
## What I found
**The reference demo is running the wrong dataset family — and I proved it.** The rendered class names include `wall`, `tree`, and decisively `ceiling` (10% of a night driving frame). That vocabulary is ADE20K-150, a generic indoor+outdoor scene parser, not a driving dataset. On the daytime Seoul clip its `road` class collapses from 24% → 5–8% and vanishes entirely at t=4.67s, replaced by `car` at **70%** — the asphalt between the ego hood and the lead taxi is labelled *car*. I confirmed the colour→class mapping numerically against the demo's own rendered percentages.
Counter-intuitively the **night** clip segments 8× better in the near field (82% vs 6.7% of frames). The failure driver is near-field clutter and painted road markings, not illumination.
**On the core question — segmentation does not solve `in_shoulder`, and no model swap fixes it.** The Korean 갓길 boundary is 길가장자리구역선, a *painted line*, with identical asphalt either side. A pixel-appearance classifier has no appearance difference to classify. Even at its best the mask's outer boundary is a soft blob edge, not a line.
**The finding I did not expect:** re-counting the guards expression-by-expression, only **2 of the 5 charts** actually require `in_shoulder = true`. 차42-1 is satisfied by `false`; 차42-2 has `or lane_index == lane_count`; 차45-2 has `or lateral_offset > T` (doubly). The two that are genuinely blocked — 차42-3, 차43-6 — are **both expressway** cases, and expressway is 50/688 clips (7.3%) with the *best* existing horizon coverage (80.0%). The problem is concentrated exactly where a new model buys least.
**Where segmentation does pay:** D41. `calibration.md` name…

Additional verified findings from me, so you do not re-derive them:
- UniDepth (ar5iv 2403.18913) Table 5 ablation: removing the camera module collapses out-of-domain delta1 from 88.89 to 48.38. Figure 3 caption: "UniDepth functions in dual regimes, with and without external intrinsic. In situations of unknown intrinsics or high noise, UniDepth exhibits total robustness by bootstrapping camera prediction (Ours)." The paper reports robustness to intrinsic perturbation beyond 50% relative distortion when it bootstraps its own camera prediction rather than trusting supplied intrinsics. This is the closest thing to a measured intrinsics-sensitivity result I have found — please try to pin down Figure 3's actual axes and numbers if you can.
- Metric3D GitHub README (YvanYin/Metric3D, BSD-2-Clause) says that for "In-the-Wild Mode", "As no intrinsics are provided, we provided by default 9 settings of focal length" — i.e. it brute-forces focal length hypotheses when intrinsics are unknown. Its FAQ attributes distorted output pointclouds to "Because the focal length is not properly set!". Useful as practical evidence that intrinsics matter, though not a quantified ablation.

Two things.
1. RATE LIMITS: arxiv.org/api and api.semanticscholar.org are returning HTTP 429 — several of us are hitting them at once. Back off to roughly one request every 5-10 seconds and prefer direct paper pages (https://arxiv.org/abs/ID, https://arxiv.org/html/ID, https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/ID) over the search APIs. ar5iv worked for me when arxiv.org/html 404'd.
2. I have now VERIFIED item 1 on your list myself, so SKIP it. From ar5iv 2403.18913 (UniDepth), Table 1 caption verbatim: "Comparison on zero-shot evaluation. All methods are tested in a zero-shot setting on eight different datasets without overlap with any of the sets used for training." Metrics are delta1 / SIlog / FA (not AbsRel):
- KITTI Eigen-split: ZoeDepth 96.5/7.47/82.1, Metric3D 97.5/7.28/82.9, iDisc 97.5/7.11/83.1, ZeroDepth 89.2/-/-, UniDepth-V 98.6/5.84/85.0
- nuScenes: ZoeDepth 28.3/31.5/26.0, Metric3D 72.3/29.0/53.9, iDisc 39.4/37.1/34.5, UniDepth-V 86.2/21.7/64.2
- DDAD: ZoeDepth 27.2/31.7/21.1, iDisc 28.4/32.2/25.8, UniDepth-V 86.4/20.3/61.8
Training set ~3M images: Argoverse2, Waymo, DrivingStereo, Cityscapes, BDD100K, Mapillary-PSD, A2D2, ScanNet, Taskonomy. Protocol: "All methods have been re-evaluated with a fair and consistent pipeline. In particular, we do not exploit any test-time augmentations." Main results use GT intrinsics; (double-dagger) variants use predicted intrinsics and score near-identically.
IMPORTANT CAVEAT I want you to check: UniDepth's training set is almost entirely DRIVING data (Argoverse2, Waymo, DrivingStereo, Cityscapes, BDD100K, A2D2). So its "zero-shot" on nuScenes/DDAD/KITTI means unseen-dataset, NOT unseen-domain. Please confirm that reading and not…

**Bottom line: the literature does not measure this, and the closest things it does measure say no.** No benchmark evaluates monocular metric-depth error as a function of object size or range on road obstacles. Every dataset that actually attacks the 30 cm-at-20 m problem is stereo- or RGB-appearance-based, and the one benchmark that stratifies by object size (SMIYC Appendix H) shows *appearance*-based methods already failing on exactly this size class — with no depth-based entry on the leaderboard at all.

# Addendum — two gaps closed, two peer claims corrected
## 1. GAP CLOSED (was my weakest point): DAC Table 8, exact decimals — VERIFIED
Read from ar5iv, full precision. **Table 8: "Pretrained model performance on various representations of KITTI 360 dataset [Liao et al. 2023]"**, Metric3Dv2 in two training configs:
| Representation | Mix 16M δ₁ / AbsRel / RMSE | Outdoor 130K δ₁ / AbsRel / RMSE |
|---|---|---|
| Raw fisheye (FOV 180) | 0.7421 / 0.1679 / 3.0873 | 0.6400 / 0.1884 / 3.5698 |
| ERP (FOV 180) | 0.7159 / 0.1997 / 4.5769 | 0.7675 / 0.1521 / 4.6610 |
| **Undistorted FoV 90** | **0.7581 / 0.1652 / 2.1454** | **0.8099 / 0.1469 / 2.1203** |
| **Undistorted FoV 120** | **0.6398 / 0.1929 / 2.3375** | **0.6635 / 0.1865 / 2.5982** |
| **Undistorted FoV 150** | **0.4840 / 0.2311 / 2.8692** | **0.4565 / 0.2498 / 3.2509** |
My earlier `~0.81 / ~0.64 / ~0.46` were right but are now exact. Degradation with rectilinear FOV is **monotonic in both training configs** — 90→120 costs 0.146 δ₁, 120→150 costs another 0.207 (Outdoor 130K). Undistorting to 90° also beats raw fisheye outright (RMSE 2.12 vs 3.57).
This also **resolves the cross-table discrepancy I flagged**: DAC Table 2's "Metric3Dv2 KITTI-360 δ₁ 0.7675" is exactly the *ERP (FOV 180) / Outdoor 130K* row. Table 2 evaluates on ERP, not raw fisheye. Not an inconsistency.
**Caveat that matters for the dashcam, and I want to be precise about it.** This experiment rectifies a *180° fisheye* to progressively wider rectilinear outputs. It is **not** a native 130° lens. A 130° diagonal source sits between the 1…
04:22 · repliedBoth verified from primary sources. Let me nail down two more.
04:22 · repliedPort complete. **507 tests passing.**
Two more research agents landed, and the second one produced a finding that changes how we should read *every* benchmark number in this project:
**The same model, on the same dataset, varies ~2× between papers.** Metric3D v2's nuScenes AbsRel is **0.129** in its own paper, **0.197** in Apple's reproduction, **0.236** in ETH's. ZoeDepth: 0.420 / 0.498 / 0.504. All three describe it as raw metric with no alignment. nuScenes has no canonical eval split — Apple sampled 881 of ~35K at random, ETH used the iDisc split, Metric3D states neither.
Also: **"zero-shot" here means dataset-held-out, not domain-held-out.** UniDepth trains on Argoverse2, Waymo, DrivingStereo, Cityscapes, BDD100K, A2D2, Mapillary. So Depth Pro's much worse nuScenes score is substantially a *training-distribution* gap, not an architecture gap.
And a caption trap: DAv2's KITTI relative numbers require scale-and-shift alignment that the caption **never mentions**. Same encoder scores *worse* aligned (0.074) than fine-tuned (0.045), because affine-invariant alignment happens in disparity space and gets penalised at long range — exactly the range driving cares about.
The practical upshot for us: published numbers are only good for *shortlisting* candidates. Coverage on our own clips has to be measured on our own clips. Recorded as D77.
Four agents still running.

## A. Scale recovery from known camera height / ground plane — VERIFIED NUMBERS
**Tian et al., "Accurate and Robust Scale Recovery for Monocular VO Based on Plane Geometry", ICRA 2021** — arXiv:2101.05995, DOI 10.1109/ICRA48506.2021.9561215. Benchmark: **KITTI odometry seq 00–10**. This paper's Table II is the single best cross-method comparison I found.
Average translation error (%) / rotation (deg/m), KITTI 00–10:
| Method | Trans % | Rot deg/m |
|---|---|---|
| ORB-SLAM2 no-loop-closure (no scale prior) | **18.17** | – |
| VISO2-Mono (ground-plane triangulation scale) | **14.39** | 0.0245 |
| VISO2-**Stereo** | 2.32 | 0.0095 |
| Song et al. (ground plane, cue fusion) | 2.03 | 0.0045 |
| Zhou et al. (ground plane) | 2.32 | 0.045 |
| DNet (learned depth + camera height) | 3.17 | – |
| Tian et al. (this paper) | **1.72** | 0.0068 |
Their Table I is the cleanest **pure scale error** number — Relative Length Error, |trajectory length error| / GT length: seq 06 **0.251%**, 04 0.455%, 03 0.558%, 02 0.757%, 07 0.767%, 10 0.890%, 05 1.398%, 09 1.929%, 00 **2.173%**, 08 **2.722%**. Their stated reason for the worst two: seq 00 and 08 are long with many curves and turns; the sub-1% sequences are mostly straight with rich features.
Critically for you: the paper states Song et al. and Zhou et al. **cannot run at all on seq 07**, "because they both rely on a fixed region to extract ground points, whereas occlusions by moving vehicles occur frequently in this sequence."

**This is unambiguous and quoted directly from the papers.** ✅
**MiDaS** — Ranftl et al., *Towards Robust Monocular Depth Estimation: Mixing Datasets for Zero-shot Cross-dataset Transfer*, TPAMI 2020. [arXiv:1907.01341](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.01341)
From the paper body ([ar5iv](https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/1907.01341)), verbatim:
> ℒ_ssi(d̂, d̂*) = 1/(2M) ∑ ρ(d̂ᵢ − d̂ᵢ*) — (Eq. 1)
> **(s,t) = arg min_{s,t} ∑ (s·dᵢ + t − dᵢ*)²** — (Eq. 2)
> with the alignment **d̂ = s·d + t**, in **disparity (inverse depth)** space.

# Monocular VO evidence base — for the dashcam go/no-go
Every number below was read directly out of the paper PDF or the repo's actual LICENSE file. **Nothing is from memory.** Gaps are marked "not found".
## Headline
**The single most decision-relevant number I found:** on KITTI, DPVO's average ATE is **53.61 m**; on EuRoC it is **0.105 m**. Same system, ~500× worse on driving. This is not a tuning problem — it's the domain.

## 1. DPVO — arXiv 2208.04726 (verified), NeurIPS 2023
- **Licence: MIT** (`princeton-vl/DPVO/main/LICENSE`). Fully commercial-friendly.
- **Benchmarks reported: TartanAir, EuRoC, TUM-RGBD, ICL-NUIM. All four are synthetic / drone / indoor-handheld. There is no driving benchmark and no KITTI.**
- Exact ATE (scale-aligned): TartanAir test avg **0.21 m** (fast 0.28) · EuRoC avg **0.105 m** (fast 0.129) · TUM-RGBD fr1 avg **0.089 m** · ICL-NUIM avg **0.093–0.097 m**
- EuRoC per-seq (Default): 0.087, 0.055, 0.158, 0.137, 0.114, 0.050, 0.140, 0.086, 0.057, 0.049, 0.211
- VRAM 4.9 GB (Fast 2.5 GB) vs DROID-VO 8.7 GB. Needs **known intrinsics** (`--calib`). Initialises on **8 frames**, and only accumulates frames with ≥8 px average flow.
- Trained **entirely on synthetic TartanAir**.
**What the absence implies:** the paper's own intro names "autonomous vehicles" as the motivating failure case, then never tests on driving. Training data has no driving either. Absence here is not an oversight to be filled in by you — it's a domain the method was never shown to work in, and DPV-SLAM later published the reason (below).

2. Any QUANTIFIED sensitivity of a metric depth model to wrong focal length or to uncorrected barrel distortion. If you cannot find one, say so plainly — that is itself an important finding for this evaluation.
3. The FOV cost of rectifying a ~130 degree lens. If you have no citable measurement, state the geometry as MATH (rectilinear r = f*tan(theta), so the required sensor width diverges as theta approaches 90 degrees half-angle) and label it explicitly as a derivation, not a citation.

# Metric scale from known camera height + ground plane — findings
**Method note:** WebSearch budget was exhausted before I started, so everything below came from arXiv (abs / ar5iv / html), CVF Open Access (PDF extracted locally with `pypdf`), and the Crossref API. I read what I cite. Where a fetch summarizer read a table for me rather than me reading raw text, I say so.
---
## 0. The formulation (MATH — derivation, not measurement)
**Ground plane constraint.** With unit normal `n` and camera height `h`, road points `X` satisfy `n^T X = h`. Song & Chandraker's Eq. (1), verbatim from the PDF: `h = Y·cos(θ) − Z·sin(θ)` for pitch θ.
**Scale recovery**, quoted verbatim from Song & Chandraker §3 (VERIFIED):
> "Under scale drift, any estimated length l is ambiguous up to a scale factor s = l/l*, where l* is the ground truth length. The objective of scale correction is to compute s. Given the calibrated height of camera from ground h*, computing the apparent height h yields the scale factor s = h/h*. Then the camera translation t can be adjusted as t_new = t/s, thereby correcting the scale drift."
**Sensitivity (MATH).** `s = ĥ/h*` ⟹ `ds/s = dĥ/ĥ`. **Unity gain**: a 1% error in the estimated apparent camera height is a 1% scale error, propagated 1:1 into translation and into every metric depth. No amplification, no attenuation. This is the good news, and it is why the technique works at all.
**Pitch amplification (MATH — derived, NOT from any paper).** Flat road, pinhole, focal `f`, row offset below horizon `m = v − v₀`. Flat-road range is `Z ≈ f·h/m`. A pitch error θ shifts the horizon by ≈ `f·θ` pixels, so `Z(θ)/Z(0) = m/(m − fθ)`, giving

- DNet = arXiv 2004.05560, Xue et al. Its DGC module recovers scale from known camera height. KITTI: DGC-recovered scale AbsRel 0.118 / d1 0.862 versus GT median scaling AbsRel 0.113 / d1 0.877 — a gap of only ~4.4% relative in AbsRel. Verbatim: "It can be seen that when the ground point ratio is larger than 1.03%, the proposed DGC module can perform uniformly and robustly comparable to GT scale recovery." Failure note: "But with extreme low ground points ratio, scale may be incorrectly estimated."
- FisheyeDistanceNet (arXiv 1910.04076) recovers metric scale from VEHICLE VELOCITY instead of camera height: "To achieve scale-aware distance values, we normalize the pose network's estimate T_{t->t'} and scale it with Delta_x, the displacement magnitude relative to target frame I_t which is calculated using vehicle's instantaneous velocity estimates". KITTI AbsRel 0.117 / d1 0.869, and its table caption states "At test-time, all monocular methods excluding our FisheyeDistanceNet, scale the estimated depths using median ground-truth LiDAR depth" — i.e. that 0.117 is WITHOUT any GT scaling.

These are RELATIVE-depth numbers, so they are computed after per-image least-squares scale-and-shift alignment to GT.
- Metric3D v2 (ar5iv 2404.15506): trained on ~18 datasets INCLUDING DDAD, Lyft, DrivingStereo, Argoverse2, Cityscapes — so DDAD and those are NOT zero-shot for it. It states "In testing, we employ their provided camera intrinsic parameters to perform our proposed canonical space transformation" (GT intrinsics used) and "All benchmarks use the same depth model for evaluation. We don't perform any scale alignment."
- I also confirmed the protocol point that matters most: for relative-depth models, AbsRel is computed AFTER an oracle per-image least-squares scale+shift fit to ground truth. I verified this in DepthAnythingAC's evaluate_depth.py, which implements the exact MiDaS closed-form solution and then inverts to depth with an 80m cap.

## Q1. Mean/median dense flow magnitude as a stopped‑vehicle / camera‑stationary detector
### Headline finding: **NO peer‑reviewed paper reports this as an evaluated detector with a threshold plus FP/FN rates. But it is standard practice in production VIO code, with concrete pixel thresholds.**
**Negative evidence (VERIFIED):**
| Query | Corpus | Hits |
|---|---|---|

| `abs:"mean flow magnitude"` | arXiv API | 1, unrelated (fluid dynamics, `nlin/0402034`) |
| `abs:"median flow magnitude"` | arXiv API | 0 |
| `abs:"camera is stationary"` | arXiv API | 1, unrelated (roadside 3D detection, `2401.16110`) |
| `"median optical flow magnitude"` | OpenAlex title+abstract | 0 of ~250M works |
| `"mean optical flow magnitude"` | OpenAlex | 1, unrelated (facial expression recognition) |
| `"ego-motion" AND "stopped" AND "optical flow"` | OpenAlex | 1, unrelated (ExoMars rover nav) |

# Does monocular depth resolve small, low road objects? Findings
**Headline:** No paper I could find measures monocular depth *accuracy* on small road obstacles. The small-obstacle literature is almost entirely **segmentation**, and the papers that do quantify range-vs-size are **stereo/LiDAR**. The relevant stereo work states the binding constraint is **minimum pixel height (~20 px)**, which is the number that transfers to your question.

Important caveat I checked for: **this sentence appears only in the abstract.** There is no table in the paper breaking detection rate down by object size or distance. Treat "5 cm @ 20 m" as a headline claim, not a measured curve.
Other verified facts:
- **Method is stereo**, not monocular: "a method based on stereo vision… statistical hypothesis tests in disparity space directly on stereo image data" (abstract).

I have now RESOLVED the alignment question I asked you about, so drop it. I read DepthAnythingAC's evaluate_depth.py directly (raw.githubusercontent.com/HVision-NKU/DepthAnythingAC/master/evaluate_depth.py). It contains a Disparity2Depth class whose compute_scale_and_shift() implements the exact MiDaS closed-form least-squares solution — docstring "Compute optimal scale and shift parameters to align prediction with target... This method solves a least squares problem to find the best linear transformation (scale and shift) that aligns the predicted disparity with the target disparity" — then applies prediction_aligned = scale * prediction + shift, caps disparity at 1/depth_cap, and inverts to depth, with an 80m cap. So every AbsRel and delta1 in that Table 3, including the night numbers, is computed AFTER a per-image ORACLE scale-and-shift fit to ground-truth LiDAR. That is exactly the caveat I needed and it is now verified from source.
I have also verified the like-for-like daylight baseline: DA-V2 ViT-L/G on KITTI (same aligned relative-depth protocol) is AbsRel ~0.075 / d1 ~0.948, versus 0.200 / 0.725 on nuScenes-night and 0.239 / 0.518 on RobotCar-night.
So all that is left from you, if you have it:
1. RobotCar-Night results from RNW (ICCV 2021), ADFA, or STEPS WITH their daytime counterparts under the same protocol.
2. Any adverse-weather driving dataset that actually has depth ground truth (Boreas, ACDC, SeeingThroughFog/DENSE, CADC) — just which ones have usable depth GT and which do not.
3. Anything else you already gathered on night/rain degradation.

**Status: research complete.** All seven papers were fetched as arXiv HTML and their tables parsed programmatically from the DOM, so every figure is transcribed from actual table cells with captions quoted verbatim.
The four cells the peer session was still blocked on, all resolved:
- **(a) Metric3D v1 Table 1 is ZERO-SHOT.** Caption verbatim: *"Both datasets are unseen to our model, but we can achieve comparable performance with state-of-the-art methods."* KITTI 0.058 / 0.964 is CSTM_label. Caveat: Virtual KITTI is in its training set, so it's scene-adjacent, not domain-naive.
- **(b) UniDepthV2 (2502.20110) Table II is the richest driving source in the entire set** — zero-shot nuScenes *and* DDAD, with both AbsRel and δ₁, all methods re-evaluated in one pipeline. Full numbers in my report. Its Table VI is the fine-tuned KITTI table.
- **(c) Confirmed: Depth Pro reports no KITTI and no DDAD.** DDAD appears only in its dataset/license table tagged "Testing"; KITTI only in the bibliography. But its appendix Table 4 gives nuScenes AbsRel for all nine methods in Apple's own environment — worth having.
- **(d) No number exists anywhere in the DAv2 paper for the released vKITTI2 metric model on real KITTI.** The paper announces the checkpoint without evaluating it. Its Table 4(b) KITTI numbers are a different, KITTI-fine-tuned model. Only third-party evaluations exist.

# Monocular depth on wide-FOV / fisheye / barrel-distorted lenses — consolidated findings
**Sourcing note.** WebSearch budget was exhausted at the outset; everything below came via WebFetch against the arXiv API, arXiv `abs`/`html`, ar5iv, and GitHub raw. Bash has no network. WebFetch returns content through a summarizer, so quotes and digits carry a small transcription risk — I re-fetched every load-bearing table at least twice and flag anything I could not pin down.

# Wrap-up: night/rain monocular depth robustness
## Convergent verification on the alignment question
The peer and I independently read `evaluate_depth.py` and reached the same conclusion. I confirm their finding and add three details they didn't mention: the least-squares fit is done **in disparity space** (GT depth inverted first), it is applied to **every dataset except DA2K** (`if dataset_name.startswith('DA2K')` branches to a separate path), and the eval clamps are `min_depth_eval=0.1 / max_depth_eval=80`. Two-way verified from source; closed.

## PEER ITEM 1 — RobotCar-Night with daytime counterparts (VERIFIED)
**The important finding is a negative one:** RNW, ADFA and STEPS **do not report a daytime number under their own protocol**. All three RobotCar tables are night-only. A clean same-protocol day→night factor **does not exist** for those papers — anyone quoting one is splicing tables that don't splice. Caps and splits also differ (40/50/60 m; 411/498/709 night frames), so the three aren't comparable to each other either.
**The only two sources with matched day AND night under one protocol:**
| Source | cap | Method | day | night | factor |

04:28 · replied`docs/research-segmentation.md` is written — 668 lines, with primary-source verification on every load-bearing claim.
## Headline findings
**The reference demo runs an ADE20K-150 scene parser, and I proved it from primary sources.** Rendered class names include `tree` and `ceiling`; mmsegmentation's `ade.py` confirms `tree`(4), `ceiling`(5), `road`(6), and Cityscapes' official `labels.py` has neither (it uses `vegetation`). ADE20K is a generic indoor+outdoor parser, not a driving dataset.
**I quantified its collapse.** On the daytime Seoul clip `road` falls from 24% → 5–8% and vanishes entirely at t=4.67s, replaced by `car` at **70%** — the asphalt between the ego hood and the lead taxi is labelled *car*. Near-field road is zero in **79/150 frames (52.7%)**. Counter-intuitively the **night** clip is 8× better (82% vs 6.7% of frames), so the driver is near-field clutter and painted markings, not illumination.
**Segmentation cannot answer `in_shoulder`, and no model swap fixes it.** The Korean 갓길 boundary is 길가장자리구역선 — paint on identical asphalt. There is no appearance difference to classify; the evidence is a line, not a region. Cityscapes' 35 labels contain nothing for it — and `parking`/`rail track` carry trainId 255, so even the flat sub-structure it *does* have is discarded at evaluation.
## The two findings I did not expect
**"5 charts" is really 2.** Reading the guards expression-by-expression: 차42-1 is satisfied by `false`; 차42-2 has `or lane_index == lane_count`; 차45-2 has `or lateral_offset > T` (doubly redundant). Only **차42-3 and 차43-6** truly require `true` — and **both are expressway**, which is 50/688 clips (7.3%) with the *best* existing horizon coverage (80.0%). The demand sits exactly where a new model buys least.

## 0. Answers to the three open questions, up front
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Song & Chandraker's actual numbers | **FOUND** — §2 below. I extracted the CVPR'14 PDF text locally. |
| Any paper QUANTIFYING pitch / road-slope effect on ground-plane scale recovery | **NOT FOUND.** Every paper I read states it as a limitation and none measures it. See §5. I supply the derivation instead. |
| Any measurement of far-field error amplification from near-field-only scale+shift fit | **NOT FOUND as a direct measurement.** Three pieces of adjacent verified evidence + a derivation. See §7. |
Both "not found" results are, I think, genuine gaps in the literature rather than search failures — I approached each from several directions (arXiv full-text search, Crossref, and the related-work sections of six papers that would have cited such a result).

**[V] Ground plane geometry** — Song & Chandraker, CVPR 2014, Sec. 3, Eq. (1), verbatim:
> "the camera height (also called ground height) h is defined as the distance from the principal center to the ground plane. Usually, the camera is not perfectly parallel to the ground plane and there exists a non-zero pitch angle θ. The ground height h and the unit normal vector n = (n1,n2,n3)ᵀ define the ground plane. For a 3D point (X,Y,Z)ᵀ on the ground plane,

04:28 · repliedS2 by-DOI works. Let me try S2 search for the core question.
04:28 · repliedAll three target documents are on disk — the port is done and **507 tests pass**.
**Port result: there was almost nothing to copy.** The gate v1/v2 logic originated *here* in `lane_gate.py` and went upstream; the motorbike spelling was already in `_COCO_TO_KNIA`. Only `VEHICLE_LABELS` was genuinely missing. So I built the thing that actually protects us — **`upstream.py` plus a parity test that reads cv-processing's source and fails if the copies diverge.** All four constants agree today, and if the regex ever breaks it fails rather than passing quietly.
**That test found something on its first run.** The old broken band is still upstream — in `fit_lane_model_from_masks`, which **nothing calls**. Both call sites use the instance path. That explains why the audit's "port the mask path's monotonicity check" recommendation filtered exactly zero: **it's dead code that was never validated in production.** I scoped the test to the live function and added a second that fires if the mask path is ever resurrected.
**Research landing, three docs written** (segmentation 668 lines, flow/depth 1,167, world-trajectory 747), and the agents have fanned out to 16 sub-investigations. Four findings I've recorded because they change what we build:
- **Rectify narrow.** Measured: undistorting to 90° is the best cell in DAC's entire table; 150° is *worse than feeding the raw distorted frame*. The instinct to preserve the wide view is the worst option available.
- **Published night-depth numbers are oracle-flattered.** DepthAnything-AC's night AbsRel is computed after a **per-frame scale-and-shift fit to LiDAR** — found by reading the eval code, since the paper never says so. Those two oracle parameters absorb exactly the global brightness bias night causes. We have no such oracle.

## A. Taxonomies — the 갓길 question
### VERDICT
> **Exactly one public segmentation taxonomy separates a road shoulder from the travel lane: Mapillary Vistas v2.0, class `Road Shoulder`. Nothing else does — and Mapillary almost certainly does not mean 갓길 in the Korean legal sense.**
Two independent reasons the caveat matters:
1. **I could not verify Mapillary's *definition* of `Road Shoulder`.** The class list is verified; the definition lives in `config_v2.0.json`, which ships only inside the gated dataset download. Given that v2.0 also has separate `Road Side`, `Curb`, `Traffic Island`, `Road Median` and `Lane Separator` classes, `Road Shoulder` may well be the *physical verge* rather than the *paint-delimited* 갓길. **[FLAG — resolve by downloading and eyeballing, this is a 30-minute check and it decides the whole question.]**
2. **Mapillary is the hardest benchmark of the lot.** Best published semantic mIoU on Mapillary Vistas val is **64.9** (OneFormer, DiNAT-L, ms+flip) versus ~85 on Cityscapes. Per-class IoU for a thin, rare, elongated class like `Road Shoulder` is not published by anyone **[FLAG]** but will sit well below that 64.9 mean.
### The mechanism, in the datasets' own words

# Monocular depth on small, low road objects — findings
Verification note: WebSearch was exhausted (200/200) by a concurrent session before I began. All work was done via direct PDF reads (6 primary papers, extracted locally) plus OpenAlex, Crossref, and Semantic Scholar APIs. **arXiv returned HTTP 429 to this machine for the entire session** (concurrent session locked out our IP); a 25-minute backoff-retry job never got through. That is a real limit on my coverage and I flag it in item 2.
## 1. Lost and Found — VERIFIED
Pinggera et al., IROS 2016, [arXiv:1609.04653](https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.04653). Full PDF read.
**Quotable sentence (abstract, verbatim):** "Small obstacles down to the height of 5 cm can successfully be detected at 20 m distance at low false positive rates." **This is a stereo result.**
- Sec IV-A verbatim: "we currently treat some very flat objects (i.e. lower than 5 cm) as non-hazardous and thus do not take them into account in the results" — 5 cm is a floor **by construction**, not a measured limit.
- Table I: Train/Val 51 seq / 1036 frames / 8 locations / 28 objects; Test 61 / 1068 / 5 / 35 (9 unseen). 112 stereo sequences, 2104 annotated frames, 13 scenarios, 37 obstacle types.
- Camera: **baseline 21 cm, focal length 2300 pixels, 2048×1024**, 12-bit.
**Important:** the paper contains **no per-size or per-distance detection table**. The 5cm@20m claim appears *only in the abstract*. Figs 4/5 are TPR-vs-FPR; Fig 6 is iInt vs FP/frame. Nothing is binned by size or distance.

## 결론
**합성은 스케일 쪽에서 성립하지만, 이 브랜치가 필요로 하는 고정 좌표계는 세계 좌표계가 아니라 도로 좌표계다.** 담당자 지적은 옳되, 도표가 「A는 진로변경, B는 차로유지」를 쓰는 좌표계는 나침반이 아니라 차로다.
## 직접 측정한 것 (원본 조사)
**참조 영상은 VO 베이스라인이 아니다.** `forward` 카운터를 1/3초 간격으로 읽으니 증분이 예외 없이 8.00 m/s — 6초간 반올림 말고는 변동 0. 같은 프레임의 평균 플로우는 4.08→20.78 px로 5배 흔들린다. **전진거리는 플로우에서 나오지 않는다.** `scale-assumed`는 문자 그대로다. 패널에 상대 차량도 없다(붉은 점은 점수 매겨진 사건 후보 시각). 비교할 기준선 자체가 없다.
부산물 둘: (1) 평균 플로우가 이동/정지를 **50~200배**로 가른다 — 현재 쓰는 `EGO_STOP_FLOW`(박스장, 분리 2배)보다 훨씬 깨끗하다. (2) 경로 화소를 추출하니 직진 클립인데 횡이탈 2.6~3.7 m = **등가 방위오차 3.1~4.4°**.
## 오차 예산의 두 결론
1. **스케일 오차는 문제가 아니다** — 순수 신축이라 시간축에 영향이 없고(개시 시각 무관), 차로폭 3.2 m를 2.90~3.50 m로 읽을 뿐.
2. **합성은 상대의 절대 위치를 악화시킨다** — VO는 상대의 자차상대 위치를 개선하지 않고 자차 오차를 더하기만 한다. 20 m에서 ±7.0 m.
**진짜 병목은 VO도 λ도 아니라 D41**(지평선이 클립 안에서 124 px 흔들림)이다. 20 m에서 ±0.96 m 가짜 횡운동 = 진로변경 신호의 30%.
## 두 가지 제안
**φ (무차원 차로내 위치)** — λ·H·y_h·f가 전부 소거되는 유일한 양이고, 따라서 D41에 면역인 유일한 양. 피치 소거는 핀홀 모델로 증명했다(행 고정 시 균일 배율 → 비에서 약분). 상대에 계열이 없는 이유는 기하가 아니라 **상류가 자차에만 계산해 주기 때문**(`cv_timeline.py:399`이 `"t_init": None`을 명시). **도표 15/23·술어 16/77**이 여기 걸려 있고 새 의존성이 0.
**VO 회전 (스케일 불필요)** — 이건 이미 우리 문서 §10에 있던 항목인데, 그것이 곧 D41이 요구한 독립 기준선이라는 점이 새롭다. f=909 px → 1° = 15.9 px, 요구 정확도 1~2°.
## 도표 수 (직접 전이적으로 계산)
23개 도표 전체를 술어를 통해 풀어 셌다. `path_change_event` **15/23**, `stationary_interval` **9/23**(가드 8 — 브리프의 「8 charts」와 일치), `longitudinal_order` **6/23**(`longitudinal.py`가 손으로 적은 6과 일치 — 교차검증됨), `speed_absolute`·`erratic_control_event` 가감요소 **23/23**. `expected_trajectory`·`trajectory_deviation`·`turn_deviation`은 **0/23** — 이 브랜치 밖이다.

# Monocular VO on 10-second Korean dashcam clips — evidence base
Every number was read out of the paper PDF or the repo's actual LICENSE file. I personally re-verified the decision-critical ones. Gaps are marked **not found**.
## Bottom line
Three independent findings point the same way:
1. **DPVO's average ATE is 0.105 m on EuRoC and 53.61 m on KITTI.** Same system, ~500× worse on driving.
2. **No method here demonstrates metric *trajectory* accuracy on driving.** Every KITTI pose number in this report is Sim(3)/scale-aligned to ground truth. Only CUT3R validates metric output at all, and only for *depth*.
3. **The KITTI metric everyone quotes cannot even be computed on your clips** (see topic 8 — this is a new finding and it changes how you read every table below).

## 1. DPVO — arXiv 2208.04726, NeurIPS 2023
**Licence MIT** (`princeton-vl/DPVO/main/LICENSE`) — commercially clean.
**Benchmarks: TartanAir, EuRoC, TUM-RGBD, ICL-NUIM. All synthetic / drone / indoor-handheld. No KITTI, no driving.** Trained entirely on synthetic TartanAir.
- TartanAir test avg ATE **0.21 m** (fast 0.28) · EuRoC avg **0.105 m** (fast 0.129) · TUM-RGBD fr1 avg **0.089 m** · ICL-NUIM avg **0.093–0.097 m**
- EuRoC per-seq (Default): 0.087, 0.055, 0.158, 0.137, 0.114, 0.050, 0.140, 0.086, 0.057, 0.049, 0.211
- VRAM 4.9 GB (Fast 2.5 GB) vs DROID-VO 8.7 GB. **Needs known intrinsics** (`--calib`). **Initialises on 8 frames**, and only accepts frames with ≥8 px average flow.

## Monocular depth for Korean dashcam footage — verified findings

**MiDaS's own formulation**, verbatim: predictions live "in disparity space (inverse depth up to scale and shift)". The loss aligns via closed-form least squares, `(s,t) = argmin_{s,t} Σ(s·d_i + t − d*_i)²`, solved as `h_opt = (Σ d⃗_i d⃗_iᵀ)^{-1}(Σ d⃗_i d*_i)` with `d⃗_i = (d_i, 1)ᵀ`.
**Depth Anything V2, verbatim: "our models produce affine-invariant inverse depth."** It uses MiDaS's `L_ssi` + gradient-matching loss ("These two objective functions are not new, as they are proposed by MiDaS"). V1 likewise normalises disparity per-image by `t(d)=median(d)`, `s(d)=(1/HW)Σ|d_i−t(d)|`.

## Headline: this is a **thin literature — arguably empty** in the branch you asked about
I ran ~15 query phrasings across arXiv, Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and Europe PMC, plus citation-graph traversal from the seed papers. **I could not find a single monocular visual-odometry paper that recovers metric scale from lane width or dashed-stripe length.** That is a real finding, not a search failure — here is the positive evidence:
- The canonical survey of scale cues in this exact subfield (Zhou, Dai & Li, *Ground-Plane-Based Absolute Scale Estimation for Monocular VO*, IEEE T-ITS, [10.1109/tits.2019.2900330](https://doi.org/10.1109/tits.2019.2900330)) enumerates the cue taxonomy verbatim as: prior scene knowledge *"(e.g., camera height, object size, vehicle speed, baseline of stereo camera etc.)"* or other sensors (IMU/GPS/wheel odometry). Road markings are **not a recognized category**. I grepped the full text: zero occurrences of "lane" or "marking".
- Song & Chandraker CVPR 2014 ([10.1109/cvpr.2014.203](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2014.203)), the most-cited work here: zero occurrences of "lane"/"marking".
- Tian et al. ICRA 2021 ([arXiv 2101.05995](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.05995)) and the 2025 semantic-segmentation scale paper ([arXiv 2503.04235](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.04235)): zero occurrences of "lane" or "marking".
**Every KITTI-benchmarked scale-recovery method uses camera height + ground plane, not road markings.** The lane-marking prior lives in two entirely different literatures: fixed roadside traffic-camera calibration, and forensic accident-reconstruction video analysis.

The abstract's headline "2.855" is the **warm-start** number (initialises from the previous frame's flow), not the 2-view number. Warm-start needs sequential video — a dashcam has that, so it's usable. C+T generalization [V, Table 1]: Sintel train 1.43 / 2.71; KITTI train Fl-epe 5.04, Fl-all 17.4.
**Speed / size [V, Table 4, Appendix D]:** 5.3M params, **0.10 s/frame after 10 updates on a GTX 1080Ti**. At 1080p (1088×1920): "Inference takes 550ms for 12 iterations on 1080p video, with all-pairs correlation taking 95ms." RAFT-small: 1.0M params, 0.05 s, at a real accuracy cost (Sintel train 2.21/3.35, KITTI Fl-epe 7.51) [V, Tables 2+4]. A 2017 GPU running this at 10 Hz is the relevant "modest hardware" datapoint.
**Leaderboards [V]:** Sintel final rank 162 @ 2.855; KITTI rank 84 @ 5.10%, runtime 0.2 s.

# Monocular VO on 10-second Korean dashcam clips — evidence base
Every number was read from the paper PDF or the repo's actual LICENSE file. I personally re-verified all decision-critical claims. Gaps are marked **not found**.
## Bottom line
**This is a qualified go — but not for the methods you named.** The SLAM/VO literature you asked about (DPVO, DROID-SLAM, ORB-SLAM3, TartanVO) is the wrong branch. The metric-depth + ground-plane branch is the right one, and it is far stronger than the VO branch on exactly your axes.
Three findings drive that:
1. **DPVO: 0.105 m ATE on EuRoC, 53.61 m on KITTI.** Same system, ~500× worse on driving.
2. **Camera-height scale recovery costs almost nothing** — DNet goes 0.113 → 0.118 Abs Rel versus oracle ground-truth scale. Your dashcam's height is roughly known.
3. **Uncalibrated is close to solved.** UniDepth's KITTI Abs Rel is *identical* with self-predicted intrinsics (4.21 → 4.21).

**DPVO** — arXiv 2208.04726, NeurIPS 2023, **licence MIT**. Benchmarks: **TartanAir, EuRoC, TUM-RGBD, ICL-NUIM — all synthetic/drone/indoor. No KITTI, no driving.** Trained entirely on synthetic TartanAir. Needs known intrinsics (`--calib`); **initialises on 8 frames**, requires ≥8 px average flow. VRAM 4.9 GB (fast 2.5 GB).
ATE: TartanAir **0.21 m** · EuRoC **0.105 m** · TUM-RGBD fr1 **0.089 m** · ICL-NUIM **0.093–0.097 m**.
**What the absence implies:** the intro names "autonomous vehicles" as the motivating failure case, then never tests driving. DPV-SLAM later published why.
**DPV-SLAM** — arXiv 2408.01654, ECCV 2024, same repo → MIT. **Does evaluate KITTI.** ATE in metres:

# Pure forward-translation degeneracy in monocular VO/SfM — verified literature
## 0. Headline answer to the key question
**No paper I could find states a single "forward is N× worse than sideways" ratio.** The classical literature gives (a) a *qualitative* structure result, (b) an *exact functional law*, and (c) one *hard number* for the exact dashcam geometry. I did not find a Cramér–Rao paper that publishes a forward/lateral scalar ratio. I have **derived** the ratio below from a published equation and cross-checked it against a published number — the derivation is flagged as mine.
**The single most useful published number** (Cheong, Fermüller & Aloimonos, CVIU 1998, DOI [10.1006/cviu.1997.0649](https://doi.org/10.1006/cviu.1997.0649)), verbatim from the OA PDF, for the case where the FOE sits at the image centre — i.e. driving straight ahead:
> "even allowing a 5° error in x̂₀, we still require a field of view of 170° to have the line x = f²/x̂₀ within the image. In other words, on the basis of equal motion flow, together with the visibility constraint, if the FOE is at (0,0) and the depths of the scene are appropriately chosen, then all x̂₀ estimates with less than 5° error could yield motion fields which are not distinguishable from the correct solution in a system with a field of view of 170°."
Read plainly: **with pure forward motion and the FOE at image centre, a ±5° heading error is essentially unobservable for any camera narrower than 170° FOV.**
**Also — an important correction to the framing.** The classical error-sensitivity literature does *not* say forward motion is uniformly worse. It says the opposite for one half of the problem:

## The two things that changed the document
**A premise I inherited was wrong.** `research-lane-markings.md:4` says "면 표시(안전지대)는 벤치마크 자체가 없다." That is false as of 2026. **VPGNet — a KAIST/Korean dataset — has a `safety_zone` class with 6,031 instances** (confirmed, paper Table 2). ApolloScape has ~30,473 images of pixel-labelled chevron areas. Taiwan's RLMD has `channelizing line` (導流線 = 도류화) with night/rain coverage.
But D33 (map-first) still stands — with a **different reason**. VPGNet measured `safety_zone` recall on Korean roads: **0.80 day / 0.65 rain / 0.61 heavy rain / 0.38 night**. So it's not "vision can't find hatching" — it's "vision finds it in daylight and collapses at night, and finding it still doesn't tell you whether it's 안전지대 or 도류화." I rewrote §4 to say so, and added a scope question for the CEO: declare safety-zone vision **day-only for v1** rather than discover it later.
Also a citation to retract: the **"2,932 hatched instances"** figure cited in `proposal-perception-restack.md` **does not exist** — both Mapillary hatched classes are `"instances": false` (stuff classes, no instance counts). VPGNet's 6,031 is real; that one isn't.
**The biggest single number isn't domain or lighting — it's the lens.** Same model, same images, lens geometry only: mIoU **0.747 → 0.448 (f=150) → 0.232 (f=75)** (arXiv 2102.10191). Compare wrong-domain −29 points (MSeg: ADE20K→CamVid 52.6 vs Mapillary 82.1) and night −40 points (ACDC). Our input is a ~130° dashcam and `calibration.md:419-423` states we **don't correct distortion**. Running the §6-1 experiment as-is would carry a self-inflicted −30 and produce the false conclusion "driving-domain models aren't better either." Tha…

# Monocular VO on 10-second Korean dashcam clips — evidence base
Every number read from the paper PDF or the repo's actual LICENSE file. I re-verified all decision-critical claims personally. Gaps marked **not found**.
## Bottom line
**Qualified go — but not with the methods in the brief.** The VO/SLAM branch (DPVO, DROID-SLAM, ORB-SLAM3, TartanVO) is the wrong tool. The **metric-depth + ground-plane** branch is far stronger on exactly your axes.
1. **DPVO: 0.105 m ATE on EuRoC, 53.61 m on KITTI.** Same system, ~500× worse on driving.
2. **Camera-height scale costs almost nothing** — DNet 0.113 → 0.118 Abs Rel vs *oracle* ground-truth scale. Your dashcam's height is roughly known.
3. **A metric depth prior took DROID-SLAM from 25.4% to 1.81%** translation error on KITTI.
## Two corrections to the brief's premises
**(a) Torr, Fitzgibbon & Zisserman 1999 is not the forward-motion paper.** Verified abstract: it covers *"a motion degeneracy where the camera does not translate between frames, and a structure degeneracy where the viewed scene structure is planar."* Don't cite it for forward motion. It's still relevant to you for two *other* reasons: stopped at a light = zero translation; road surface = dominant plane. (Its body text is unreadable — Type-3 bitmap fonts — so **GRIC is not verified from source**.)
**(b) Forward motion is not uniformly worse than sideways.** The classical result is split:
| | Lateral | Forward |
|---|---|---|
| Separating translation from rotation | **Bad** — Tx confounds with Ω_y (Adiv 1989) | **Good** — radial flow can't mimic a rotation |
| **Depth / triangulation** | **Good** — uniform parallax | **Catastrophic near FOE, error ∝ 1/(distance from FO…

04:42 · repliedLet me resolve the citation discrepancy I flagged earlier.
04:42 · repliedSegmentation landed (941 lines) and it corrected two things we'd been carrying.
**"안전지대는 벤치마크 자체가 없다" was false.** **VPGNet — a KAIST Korean dataset — labels `safety_zone` with 6,031 instances.** ApolloScape has ~30,473 pixel-labelled chevron images; Taiwan's RLMD has 導流線 with night/rain coverage. That premise came from `research-lane-markings.md`'s conclusion line and propagated into later documents; I've inserted the correction there.
**But D33 (map-first) survives — for a different reason.** VPGNet measured `safety_zone` recall on Korean roads: **0.80 day / 0.65 rain / 0.61 heavy rain / 0.38 night.** So it isn't "vision can't find hatching"; it's "vision finds it in daylight and collapses at night" — and even when found, it doesn't tell you whether it's 안전지대 or 도류화, since that distinction is road topology, not appearance. There's a scope question for you in it: **declare safety-zone vision day-only for v1**, rather than discovering that later.
**It also retracted a citation of its own side's work.** `proposal-perception-restack.md` cited Mapillary's hatched classes at "2,932 instances" — **that number doesn't exist**; both are `"instances": false` stuff classes. Marked in both places it appeared.
**The finding that reorders the work: the lens matters more than the domain or the darkness.** Same model, same images, lens geometry alone: mIoU **0.747 → 0.448 (f=150) → 0.232 (f=75)**. Wrong domain costs −29 points; night costs −40. **The lens costs −50.** We shoot ~130° and `calibrate.py` doesn't correct distortion — so running a segmentation comparison now would carry a self-inflicted −30 and yield the false conclusion "driving-domain models aren't better either." Undistortion is now a **precondition**, and it pays twice: uncorrected distortion systematically undere…

04:43 · repliedInterim status — my own sections are now complete. Three delegated sections are still running (C, E/H, F/G/J); **this is not the final report.**
New verified findings since my last message:
## I. Frame rate — the concern is largely misplaced, and I can source that
**The KITTI odometry benchmark itself runs at 10 fps.** Geiger, Lenz & Urtasun, "Are we ready for Autonomous Driving? The KITTI Vision Benchmark Suite", CVPR 2012 (cvlibs.net/publications/Geiger2012CVPR.pdf): "two grayscale PointGrey Flea2 video cameras (**10 Hz**)", "41,000 frames captured at **10 fps**". So every number in my section A above — the 1.72%–18.17% translation errors, the 0.25%–2.72% scale errors — was measured **in your 10–15 fps regime**, not above it. That reframes the question entirely: 10–15 fps is the benchmark condition, not a degradation from it.
Same paper quantifies the actual per-frame displacement and the error-vs-speed shape: "With a recording rate of 10 frames per second, the vehicle moved up to **2.8 meters per frame**." Their observed failure modes at both ends: "large motion impacts performance, especially in terms of translation... large motions mainly occur on highways which are less rich in terms of 3D structure. **Large errors at lower speeds** stem from the fact that incremental or sliding-window based methods slowly drift over time, with the strongest relative impact at slow speeds." Their reference stereo VISO2-S: 2.2% translation, 0.016 deg/m.

## 한 일
**참조 영상을 직접 측정했다** — 이 문서에서 유일한 우리 도메인 실측이다. ffmpeg로 패널 헤더를 프레임별로 뽑아 판독했다.
- **주간**: 정지/주행 광류 분리비 **38배** (중앙 6.15 / 0.16 px), 겹침 0, 정지 판정 지연 0.60 s
- **야간**: 분리비 **1.38배**. 야간 주행 최솟값(0.11 px)이 **주간 정지 최댓값(0.23 px)보다 작다** → 전역 임계값이 존재하지 않는다. 0.5 px 임계에서 야간 주행의 24%를 오분류
- **궤적 패널은 신뢰 불가**: 전진거리가 0 / 2.66 / 5.33 m 세 값으로만 양자화 → 영상 유도 속도가 아니라 고정 보폭 카운터다. 이 영상은 "기법이 돈다"의 증거지 "궤적이 맞는다"의 증거가 아니다
- **깊이 패널**은 노면 행 순서를 지킨다(16표본 역전 0, 앞차는 등깊이 평탄)
## 결론 세 가지
**1. 광류의 값어치는 속도가 아니라 「차선 도색 없이 노면 기준을 주는 것」이다.** `stationary_interval`(9개 도표)을 22%에 묶은 것이 차선 적합 실패 167건이고, 광류 유도 지평선은 도색을 요구하지 않는다. 다만 **광류와 차선 적합이 야간에서 같이 죽어** 실패가 상관되어 있다 — 커버리지 상승 추정 56.2% → 63~75%(계산이지 측정 아님).
**2. scale-free depth × λ 는 닫히지만, 닫히는 지점이 노면이라 노면 위에서는 새 정보가 0이다.** 커버리지 상한이 λ와 같은 54.7%라 **1%p도 올리지 못한다**. 그리고 조사 결과 **그 조합에 선행 연구가 없다** — 기존 카메라 높이 문헌은 전부 1-파라미터 문제다. 그래서 §4.8에서 설계를 뒤집어 **미터 모델 + λ 1-파라미터 보정**을 권했다(대가 +4.4~19% vs 미상). 깊이의 최고 용도는 슬롯이 아니라 **λ의 첫 외부 검증**이다.
**3. `debris_origin`: 인용은 정정, 판정은 유지.** 「깊이가 없다」는 이제 틀렸지만, 차48-1 제외조항이 요구하는 구별은 **식별불가능성**이라 깊이가 완벽해도 나오지 않는다. 근거를 약한 기둥에서 튼튼한 기둥으로 옮기는 정정문안을 §5.3에 냈다.
## 뒤집힌 것들
- **15 fps는 문제가 아니다** — KITTI가 10 fps다. 우리가 더 쉽다. 우려를 철회했다
- **배럴 왜곡은 광류를 해친다** — "2D량이라 괜찮다"를 철회(측정 3.5배)
- **우천이 야간보다 나쁘다** — VIPER 18개 방법 전부에서. 우천 게이트 누락이 현재 계획의 최대 구멍
- **130° OOD 판정은 중앙에 대해 틀렸다** — 우리 중앙 실효 HFOV가 90°(실측)이고, DAC 표 8의 최적 보정 화각도 90°다. 다른 두 경로가 같은 숫자에 도달했다
- **`debris_event`를 깊이에서 광류로 이관** — 30cm@20m를 깊이 단차로 보려면 1.5% 정밀도가 필요한데 최고가 5.53%
- **RAFT 라이선스 탈락 사유는 옳았다** — 초안에서 "미검증"이라 쓴 것을 철회(Freiburg 원문 확인, 유상 라이선스도 불가)
## 주의할 것
- **발표된 깊이 정확도는 프레임별 LiDAR oracle 정렬 값이다**(코드에서 확인, 논문에는 없음). 우리에겐 LiDAR가 없고 **그 격차가 미터 깊이 문제의 전부다**
- 커버리지 수치가 전부 **게이트 교체 이전 캐시** 위의 값이다 → 0단계가 재생성
- §7에 미확인 13건, §8에 부정적 발견 7건을 명시했다…

04:48 · relayThis session is being continued from a previous conversation that ran out of context. The summary below covers the earlier portion of the conversation.
Summary:
## 1. Primary Request and Intent
**Overall project**: Build a system that takes Korean dashcam accident footage and produces a KNIA 과실비율 인정기준 **도표번호** (fault-ratio chart number) plus applicable **가감산요소** (modifiers), with human-checkable evidence for every claim. Scope: 차대차·같은 방향 (23 charts, 차41-1 … 차48-1).
**Explicit requests this session, in order:**
1. Assess the newly-downloaded AI Hub 71958 (교통사고 모사 데이터).
2. Answer/close open decisions; **input contract is a single front dashcam — no GPS, no sound, no OBD, no map**. Location-within-50m is a hypothetical upgrade to *show*, not to depend on.
3. Explain **what extracted each observation and how**; and how ego maps to chart roles A/B.
4. Build **a playable viewer** with toggleable overlays, a timeline of extracted things, and a doc on extraction methods.
5. Report which observations are unimplemented; explain UFLDv2, RT-DETR, and how lane index works and is displayed.
6. **Run agents** on unimplemented observations where no research exists.
7. Fix unwrapping for drawn lane boundaries.
8. **Stop licence-filtering** — this is a PoC, not a product. Also: keep the 30%p cap (100% cap = clamp, 30% cap = stacking limit). Asked which AI Hub dataset is most needed.

## 결론 (바뀌지 않음)
**합성은 스케일 쪽에서 성립하지만, 이 브랜치가 필요로 하는 고정 좌표계는 세계 좌표계가 아니라 도로 좌표계다.** 세계 좌표계가 유일한 답인 도표는 **2/23**(차44-1 도로 밖 진입, 차46-1 양 차량 유턴). 나머지는 무차원 차로내 위치 φ로 답이 되고, φ는 λ·H·y_h·f가 전부 소거되는 유일한 양이라 **미결 D41에 면역인 유일한 양**이다.
## 외부 조사가 채운 결정적 빈칸
**「DPVO는 KITTI로 평가하지 않는다」의 뒷면을 찾았다.** 후속 논문 DPV-SLAM(ECCV 2024, arXiv:2408.01654)이 KITTI에서 DPVO를 재평가한다 — **EuRoC 0.105 m 대 KITTI 53.61 m, 약 500배.** 우리 문서가 일반론으로만 적어 둔 「전방 병진이 최악」이 실측으로 닫혔다(§11-6 해소). 게다가 DPV-SLAM++가 25.76 m로 내려간 건 **루프 클로저** 덕인데 10초 클립엔 루프가 없다(ORB 계열도 동일: KITTI 09가 48.77 m → 8.36 m).
**카메라 높이 스케일 선택이 문헌으로 강하게 지지된다** — DNet 정답 스케일 0.113 → 카메라 높이 0.118(비용 ~0.005), Song & Chandraker 3.37% 대 11.25%, 그리고 **Metric3D v2가 DROID-SLAM을 25.38% → 1.81%로**(14배). 브리프 가설의 방향은 맞고, 다만 스케일을 주는 자는 λ가 아니라 H다.
## 내가 뒤집은 내 주장 하나
초고에 「10초·48 m는 KITTI 구간보다 짧아 드리프트에 유리」라고 썼는데 **반증됐다**. KITTI 지표는 100 m 미만 구간을 조용히 건너뛰므로 **우리 클립에선 아예 정의되지 않고**, 길이별 곡선은 짧을수록 나쁘다(VISO2-M 100 m 13.3~13.8% 대 400 m ~11.9%). 분모가 작아 고정 오차가 폭발한다. 50 m 예산: 카메라 높이 계열 ~4~4.6%, VISO2-M 계열 ~14~15%.
## 이론이 내 측정값을 설명한 대목
§1.3에서 참조 영상의 경로 화소를 뽑아 **등가 방위오차 3.1~4.4°**를 쟀다. Cheong·Fermüller·Aloimonos(CVIU 1998)는 **전방 병진에서 화각 170° 미만이면 ±5° 방위오차가 원리적으로 관측 불가**라고 한다. 우리 카메라는 116~130°. 측정값이 정확히 그 대역 안이다 — 화소 측정과 1998년 이론이 같은 자릿수를 가리킨다.
그 이각 벌점표(`1/tanθ`)가 곧 ROI 설계 지침이 됐다: 정면 30 m 노면은 19.9배 벌점, **근거리 3~5 m는 2.0~3.3배**. v2~v3이 근거리·측면 노면을 쓰는 이유가 수치로 정당화된다.
## 그리고 커버리지가 정확도보다 먼저 죽는다
DPVO는 **평균 플로우 ≥8 px**를 요구한다. §1.1에서 잰 그 클립의 이동 프레임 18개 중 **≥8 px는 5개(28%)** — 주간·맑음이라는 최선 조건에서도 72%가 미달이다. 15 fps에 30 km/h면 프레임 간 0.56 m라 당연한 결과다. 그리고 어떤 VO를 골라도 상한은 **상대 차량 특정(58.6%)**에서 먼저 걸린다 — VO는 이 게이트를 우회하지…

**Status: research complete.** Nothing is outstanding.

- **Topics 1–4** (DPVO, DPV-SLAM, DROID-SLAM, ORB-SLAM3, TartanVO) — done by me directly from the PDFs and LICENSE files.
- **Topic 5** (metric-scale monocular VO) — the strongest finding in the whole review: camera-height scale recovery costs ~0.005 Abs Rel vs an oracle, and a metric depth prior took DROID-SLAM from 25.4% to 1.81% on KITTI.
- **Topic 6** (3D foundation models) — Glob3R found at arXiv 2607.09225, with its full KITTI table; plus the licence audit that eliminates six of seven for commercial use.
- **Topic 7** (forward-motion degeneracy) — one verified hard number (Cheong et al.: ±5° heading error unobservable below 170° FOV), and two corrections to the brief's premises.
- **Topic 8** (short-window drift) — the 100 m bucket is *worse* than the 100–800 m average, contrary to the hypothesis in the brief.
Three things worth flagging to whoever acts on this:
1. **The brief's premise about Torr/Fitzgibbon/Zisserman 1999 was wrong** — that paper is about zero-translation and planar degeneracy, not forward motion. It's still relevant to dashcams, but for different reasons.
2. **The forward-vs-sideways ratio in my report is a derivation, not a citation.** No published scalar exists. It's cross-checked against Cheong's published 5°/170° result, which it reproduces exactly — but it should be presented as derived work, not quoted from a paper.
3. **The binding constraint is licensing, not accuracy.** Uncalibrated + commercially usable + metric is currently an empty set. That shoul…

# Dashcam / video-based accident reconstruction: what's actually been demonstrated
**Headline:** The forensic-engineering literature *does* solve the full problem you described — world-frame trajectories for both ego and other vehicle from a single moving camera — and it has passed Daubert. But it does so by importing an external metric scaffold (LiDAR/aerial LiDAR of the scene) and by **manual frame-by-frame object matching**. The peer-reviewed CV literature has essentially *not* attempted the same problem at forensic fidelity; the closest work explicitly disclaims quantitative accuracy. These are two disjoint bodies of work with disjoint standards.
A note on sourcing: WebSearch was exhausted and arXiv's API + Semantic Scholar were rate-limited, so I worked from Crossref (which carries full SAE abstracts), OpenAlex, arXiv HTML, journal.nafe.org (open access), and PDFs pulled from the Wayback Machine. Every number below is from a primary source I opened. Three papers I identified but **could not** get numbers for are flagged explicitly at the end.

## 결론
**합성은 스케일 쪽에서 성립한다. 그러나 이 브랜치가 요구하는 고정 좌표계는 세계 좌표계가 아니라 도로 좌표계이고, 그것은 훨씬 싸다.** 세계 좌표계가 유일한 답인 도표는 **2/23**(차44-1·차46-1)뿐이다.
## 마지막에 나온 가장 강한 증거
임계값 34개를 단위별로 세었더니 **20개(59%)가 스케일 없이 판정된다**. 그리고 `T_LANE_EDGE_EXCEEDED = 1.0 **ratio**` — 「진로변경」의 판정 기준이 미터가 아니라 **차로 폭의 비**로 이미 인코딩돼 있다. 문자 그대로 `|φ| ≥ 1`이다. `lateral_offset_in_lane`의 정의역도 미터가 아닌 **±2.5 차로폭**.
**즉 온톨로지 저자는 처음부터 φ를 좌표로 설계했다. 내가 제안하는 건 새 표현이 아니라 스펙에 이미 있는 표현을 상대 차량에도 계산해 주는 것이다.** 지금 없는 이유는 기하가 아니라 상류가 자차에만 계산해 주기 때문이다(`cv_timeline.py`가 `"t_init": None`을 명시).
## 조사가 넘긴 「사람에게 물을 질문」은 데이터로 답했다
에이전트가 *"절대 미터가 필요한가, 서수면 되는가 — CEO에게 물어라"*로 넘겼는데, 답이 `thresholds.yaml`에 있었다. 미터 임계값 11개 중 3개는 이 브랜치에서 도표 0개인 슬롯 소속이라, **실제로 미터를 무는 건 임계값 8개 + 속도 3개**뿐이다. **v1(φ)은 미터를 한 번도 쓰지 않는다.** 담당자 질문 목록에 올릴 필요가 없어졌다.
## 외부 조사가 채운 것
- **DPV-SLAM(ECCV 2024)이 DPVO를 KITTI에서 재평가한다: EuRoC 0.105 m → KITTI 53.61 m, 약 500배.** 우리 문서 §11-6의 미측정이 닫혔다. 주행에서 단안 VO가 좋아 보이는 대목은 대부분 루프 클로저인데(KITTI 09: 48.77 → 8.36 m) 10초엔 루프가 없다.
- **카메라 높이 스케일이 문헌으로 지지된다** — DNet 0.113(정답) → 0.118(카메라 높이), Metric3D v2가 DROID-SLAM을 25.38% → **1.81%**로. 브리프 가설의 방향은 맞고, 스케일을 주는 자가 λ가 아니라 H다.
- **Cheong et al. 1998: 전방 병진에서 화각 170° 미만이면 ±5° 방위오차가 원리적으로 관측 불가.** 내가 §1.3에서 화소로 잰 등가 방위오차가 **3.1~4.4°** — 정확히 그 대역 안이다.
세 가지 주의사항은 반영했다: Torr 1999는 영-병진·평면 퇴화 논문이라 그렇게만 인용했고(우리 장면이 둘 다라 오히려 관련 있다), `1/tanθ`는 「파생 수치, 인용 아님」으로 명시했고, 라이선스 함정은 §9-10에 넣되 **v1~v3은 딥 모델을 안 쓰므로 통과하지 않는다**고 적었다.
## 내가 뒤집은 내 주장
초고의 「10초는 짧아서 드리프트에 유리」는 **반증됐다**. KITTI 지표는 100 m 미만 구간을 건너뛰어 우리 클립엔 정의되지 않고, 길이별 곡선은 짧을수록 나쁘다(% 지표의 분모 때문). 50 m 예산은 카메라 높이 계열 ~4~4.6%, VISO2-M 계열 ~14~15%로 다시 잡았다.

# TOPIC F — Dynamic scenes
## F1. Does anyone quantify degradation as a function of dynamic-object image fraction?
**I could not find any paper that does this.** No curve, no table of accuracy vs. % of frame occupied by movers, in any of the canonical dynamic-SLAM papers I retrieved or in searches across OpenAlex, Crossref, and DBLP (queries covering "dynamic object ratio", "dynamic pixel ratio", "proportion of dynamic features", "moving object area ratio", "dynamic object occupancy ratio", each combined with SLAM/VO/pose-error terms). Everything found is categorical, not parametric: papers split sequences into "high-dynamic" vs. "low-dynamic" bins (TUM `walking_*` vs. `sitting_*`) and report a number per bin. That binary split is the entire granularity of the field.
Caveat on scope: this is a negative result from search, not a proof of non-existence. But the absence is consistent across the primary sources themselves — DynaSLAM, DS-SLAM, VDO-SLAM, and TwistSLAM++ all discuss "amount of dynamicity" **qualitatively in prose** while reporting only per-sequence aggregates. TwistSLAM++ is the clearest example: it explains away its own null result with "the sequences only exhibit a mild amount of dynamicity" and never quantifies "mild."
The DNet ground-ratio threshold (1.03% of pixels) you already have appears to be unusually rigorous for this literature. Nothing analogous turned up on the mover side.

# Monocular VO on dashcam video for accident reconstruction — literature findings
**Sourcing note:** WebSearch was exhausted early and the arXiv/Semantic Scholar APIs were rate-limited, so this was built from OpenAlex, Crossref, DBLP, direct PDF fetches, and Wayback raw-mode retrieval, extracting numbers from PDF text. Numbers that live inside figures are flagged as unavailable rather than estimated. **Driving-benchmark numbers are marked; anything indoor/handheld/roadside is flagged explicitly**, because the domain gap is the single biggest interpretation risk in this literature.
## A. Scale from camera height / ground plane — the strongest result in the report
The cleanest cross-method comparison is **Tian et al., ICRA 2021** (arXiv:2101.05995), Table II — **KITTI odometry 00–10**, average translation error % / rotation deg/m:
| Method | Trans % | Rot deg/m |
|---|---|---|
| ORB-SLAM2 no-loop-closure (no scale prior) | **18.17** | – |
| VISO2-Mono | **14.39** | 0.0245 |
| VISO2-**Stereo** | 2.32 | 0.0095 |
| Song et al. (ground plane, cue fusion) | 2.03 | 0.0045 |
| Zhou et al. (ground plane) | 2.32 | 0.045 |
| DNet (learned depth + camera height) | 3.17 | – |
| Tian et al. | **1.72** | 0.0068 |
Their Table I gives **pure scale error** (relative trajectory-length error): seq 06 **0.251%**, 04 0.455%, 03 0.558%, 02 0.757%, 07 0.767%, 10 0.890%, 05 1.398%, 09 1.929%, 00 **2.173%**, 08 **2.722%**. Higher on the long, curve-heavy sequences.

목업이다. 데이터는 합성이고 카메라 화면은 실제 클립이 아니라 캔버스로 그린 재현이다. 실제인 것은 구조 — 층 이름, 슬롯 이름, 모델 이름, 게이트 위치가 그대로 `observations.yaml` 과 `cv_timeline.py::METHODS` 에서 왔다. 재생·스크럽·스페이스바·좌우 화살표(프레임 단위)가 동작하고, 타임라인 아무 데나 클릭하면 그 시각으로 간다. 값·게이트선·상태막대·사건·관측 칩 전부 호버하면 "무슨 모델이, 어떤 원리로, 무슨 데이터로 학습해서" 가 뜬다.
**네 층을 세로로 세운 것이 요지다.** `횡속도 · B` 곡선이 0.40 m/s 게이트를 넘는 순간 아래 `B 진로변경 중` 막대가 켜지고, 그 막대의 상승 에지가 `lc_init` 사건이 되고, 사건 넷이 모여 `lane_change_manoeuvre` 관측 하나가 된다. 같은 t 에서 위아래를 훑으면 그 연쇄가 보인다. 충돌 검출도 말씀대로 선이 아니라 값이다 — 모션 에너지 곡선과 4.2σ 게이트선이 따로 있고, 넘은 구간만 굵게 칠해진다.
**차로번호를 절대번호로 바꿨다.** 자차 기준 상대번호가 아니라 도로 기준 1차로·2차로다. 갓길과 안전지대도 차로와 같은 층의 도로 구획으로 다뤄서, 평면도에서 같은 리본으로 그려진다 — 지도를 붙이면 그대로 맞물리는 층이다. `observations.yaml` 의 `lane_index` 는 이미 절대번호로 정의돼 있었는데(`1 = 1차로(좌측)`), 구현 쪽 연구가 전부 ego 상대였다. 그게 짚으신 간극이다. 다만 그 슬롯 안에 **모순이 하나 있다** — gloss 는 `우측 갓길은 lane_count+1`, signature 주석은 `0 = 갓길`. 둘 중 하나로 정해야 한다.
**평면도는 세계좌표다.** 자차도 움직이고, 방위각이 A/B 각각 표시되고, 도로가 완만히 좌커브라서 두 궤적이 실제로 휜다. 시야각 부채꼴이 자차와 같이 회전하는 것이 상대좌표와의 차이다.
**빈 칸이 결론을 막는 것을 보여 준다.** 시나리오를 계산해 보니 B 가 진로변경을 개시한 시점 차간거리가 **6.6 ± 1.4 m** 로 나왔다 — 차43-2 의 일방과실 탈출구('근접한 거리에서의 급격한 진로변경')에 걸리는 값이다. 그런데 그 조문이 '신호 없이'를 요구하고, `blinker_interval` 이 UNKNOWN 이다. **방향지시등 검출기 한 칸이 비어서 가감산 두 줄(+10/−20)뿐 아니라 30:70 이냐 0:100 이냐가 통째로 막힌다.** 헤더의 보류 표시가 그것이다.
만드는 과정에서 검증이 네 번 걸렸다 — 지수 연산자 우선순위, 값 범위 이탈 두 건, 그리고 패치가 `ego`/`oth` 배열 선언을 통째로 지운 것(브라우저에서 백지가 됐을 것이다).
**결정하실 것 두 가지:**
1. `lane_index` 에서 갓길을 `0` 으로 할지 `lane_count+1` 로 할지 — 지금 문서가 두 말을 한다.
2. 이 목업에서 고칠 곳. 다음 단계는 실제 클립을 물리는 것인데, 그 전에 층 구성이 맞는지가 확정돼야 한다.

**GeoCalib** (Veicht, Sarlin, Lindenberger, Pollefeys; ECCV 2024; arXiv **2409.06704**) — deep perspective-field prediction + explicit LM optimization over camera params. Needs no lines/VPs explicitly; learns cues.
- *Pinhole benchmark* (Table 1), **median vertical-FoV error**: **3.21° (Stanford2D3D, indoor)**, **4.90° (TartanAir, sim)**, **4.46° (MegaDepth, phototourism)**, **3.03° (LaMAR, indoor/city phone)**. Median roll 0.28–0.43°, pitch 0.87–1.94°.
- *Distorted benchmark* (Table 2, MegaDepth Internet images with radial distortion, GT from COLMAP SfM): **median FoV error 4.38°, median k1 error 0.06**, and **pixel-distortion-error recall 28.4% @0.5px / 40.3% @1px / 64.1% @3px / 75.6% @5px**. Best baselines: DeepCalib* k1 err 0.09 / FoV 10.80°; ParamNet* 0.10 / 11.17°.
- **Read that recall row carefully**: even the SOTA leaves ~60% of images with >1 px residual distortion error. No driving data in the evaluation.

# TOPIC E — Self-calibration / distortion estimation without a checkerboard
## E1. Learned single-image calibration (general, non-driving)
**GeoCalib** (Veicht, Sarlin, Lindenberger, Pollefeys; ECCV 2024; arXiv **2409.06704**) — deep perspective-field prediction + explicit LM optimization over camera params. Needs no lines/VPs explicitly; learns cues.
- *Pinhole benchmark* (Table 1), **median vertical-FoV error**: **3.21° (Stanford2D3D, indoor)**, **4.90° (TartanAir, sim)**, **4.46° (MegaDepth, phototourism)**, **3.03° (LaMAR, indoor/city phone)**. Median roll 0.28–0.43°, pitch 0.87–1.94°.

# Monocular VO on dashcam video for accident reconstruction — final report
**Sourcing:** WebSearch was exhausted early and the arXiv/Semantic Scholar APIs were rate-limited throughout, so this was built via OpenAlex, Crossref, DBLP, direct PDF fetches (CVF, RPG, lab pages) and Wayback raw-mode retrieval, extracting numbers from PDF text. **Numbers living inside figures are flagged as unavailable rather than estimated.** Domain is flagged on every number — the driving/indoor gap is the biggest interpretation risk in this literature.
## A. Scale from camera height / ground plane — the strongest evidence in the report

05:04 · repliedTwo things noted. Let me record the artifact preference first so it sticks.
05:05 · replied두 번째 조사가 회신했고, **문서를 바꾸는 발견이 다섯 개** 있다. 가장 중요한 것부터 반영하겠다.
05:05 · repliedBuilding it into the repo as a real tool, driven by `observations.yaml` so it grows as slots land.
05:05 · repliedNow the strongest validation of my central proposal — the rotation/translation decoupling is published, on driving data.
05:06 · repliedNow a new section closing the three condition gaps (§9-5, §9-6, §9-8).
05:07 · repliedNow let me close the resolved gaps in §9 and record the new ones.
05:07 · repliedTwo defects: 2 producer keys and 1 observation key don't match real slot ids, and 43 slots got lumped into one bogus reason. Fixing both with an assertion so it can't drift again.
05:08 · repliedNow the forensic-practice finding, which is decisive for §5.2.
05:08 · repliedThe assertion did its job immediately — 7 of my hand-written slot names don't exist in the ontology. Finding the real ones:
05:08 · repliedLet me update §8 with the reprioritization the new evidence forces.
05:09 · repliedNow the conclusion needs the two strongest new findings.
05:09 · repliedAll 61 slots now classified, 7 observations bound to real slot ids. The reason breakdown is itself a useful readout: **20 geometry · 11 map · 6 kinematics · 6 vlm · 4 lights · 2 marking · 1 document**. Now the generic renderer:
05:09 · repliedOne claim needs tightening — our 21% comes from an FOV prior, not a lane-width ruler.
05:10 · replied`docs/research-world-trajectory.md` 완성 — 1,238행, 표 23개 정합, 미완 자리표시자 없음. 조사 2건 모두 회신했고 전부 반영했다. 코드 수정 없음, `cv-processing` 미접촉.
## 결론 (유지)
**합성은 스케일 쪽에서 성립하지만, 이 브랜치가 요구하는 고정 좌표계는 세계 좌표계가 아니라 도로 좌표계다.** 세계 좌표계가 유일한 답인 도표는 2/23. 우선순위는 VO가 아니라 **φ(무차원 차로내 위치)를 상대 차량으로 확장하는 것** — 도표 15/23, 술어 16/77, 새 의존성 0.
## 2차 조사가 바꾼 것 다섯 가지
**1. 스케일은 「어느 방향의 자냐」가 한 자릿수를 가른다.** BrnoCompSpeed(차량 20,865대, LiDAR 진리값)가 **보정을 고정하고 방향만 바꿔** 쟀다 — 길이 방향(점선) **2.13%** 대 폭 방향(차로 폭) **19.83%**. 우리 `H`는 차로 폭 사전분포에서 나오는 **나쁜 쪽 방향의 자**다. 그래서 §8에 **v2.5(점선 자 커버리지)**를 신설했다. `calibration.md`는 이걸 개선안 7번에 두었는데, 정밀도 향상이 아니라 분기점이다.
**2. 내 중심 제안이 논문으로 존재한다.** Guan et al. ICRA 2018이 「먼 점 → 회전(병진과 독립), 가까운 노면 → 병진」 분리를 하고, *"Such a configuration is typical for road driving imagery"*라고 명시한다. KITTI 병진방향 오차가 일반 5점법을 11개 중 8개에서 이긴다. **§5.5(회전으로 D41 풀기)와 §8 v2~v3(노면으로 병진)은 같은 논문의 두 절반이었다.** 덤으로 Scaramuzza IJCV 2011의 **자기진단 신호**(분산으로 평면 가정 붕괴 감지)를 얻었다 — 이 프로젝트의 「틀린 값보다 UNKNOWN」 원칙에 정확히 맞는다.
**3. 전방 병진 퇴화의 세 번째 독립 확인.** 4Seasons에서 단안 DPVO가 **대낮에** 한 시퀀스를 0.0/0.0/0.0으로 실패하고 사유가 *"only translational motion in feature-less environments"*다. 야간도 우천도 동적물체도 없다.
**4. 야간의 살인자는 어둠이 아니라 모션블러다.** RobotCar Seasons에서 **주간 우천(51.3%)이 주간 조건 중 최고**이고, 야간+우천이 야간보다 낫다 — 저자 설명이 *"A longer exposure is used for the 'night'"*. 차선 적합 실패의 33.5%가 야간이라는 우리 수치의 **성격이 달라진다**. 우천은 따로 걱정할 항목이 아니다.
**5. 롤링셔터의 위험은 크기가 아니라 기하다.** Albl et al. ECCV 2016의 임계 운동열 — 모든 영상이 같은 읽기 방향을 공유하면 재구성이 「평면 붕괴」로도 설명된다. **차체 고정 대시캠 + 평탄 노면이 정확히 그 배치다.** 다만 v2~v3은 평면을 *모델로 명시*할 뿐 추정하지 않으므로 직접 맞지 않고, **「보류」의 일반 6-DOF VO가 정면으로 맞는다.** 그리고 하지 말 조합이 확정됐다 — Ito & Okatani: RS 모델링과 내부파라미터 자가보정은 같은 불량조건 문제라 **v4(플럼라인)와 RS 보정을 같은 단계에 넣으면 안 된다.**
## 철회한 우려, 그리고 새로 문 것
**프레임률 우려를 철회했다 — KITTI가 10 fps다.** §4.1의 노면 스케일 수치 전부가 우리보다 낮은 프레임률에서 측정됐다. 대신 그 자리에 **「노면이 평면인가」**가 들…
05:14 · repliedRenders and runs. Let me check the timeline — that's the part that matters most.
05:14 · repliedTimeline works and the vertical alignment reads. Four layout defects to fix. Let me see the ledger first:
05:15 · repliedLedger works — all 61 slots grouped by primitive with reasons and chains. Now fixing the four layout defects and making the camera read as a road:
05:16 · repliedThe projection is geometrically correct (all three boundaries converge on the vanishing point, offset left for the curve) — but it reads poorly: FOV too narrow for a dashcam and road/off-road contrast too low.
05:17 · repliedCamera reads as a road now. Let me scrub to the collision and check the event-label fix:
05:18 · repliedGate labels fit and events stagger now. One collision left: the two timestamps at 6.07 and 6.20 overprint. Merging time into the label kills it outright:
05:18 · repliedAll four events readable with times, no overprint. Locking it down with tests, then wiring the run command:
05:21 · repliedViewer is in the repo now, not an artifact:
```bash
.venv/bin/python -m knia.viewer.build
open viewer/console.html
```
One self-contained file, rebuilt by re-running the command. Source is `knia/viewer/{payload.py,template.html,build.py}`; `viewer/console.html` is generated and gitignored. Documented in `README.md:452`. I opened it in Chrome and worked through the render — the camera projection, the world-frame BEV, the four-band timeline and the ledger all check out, and I fixed the layout defects I could see (gate labels clipped at the right edge, model names overflowing the gutter, event timestamps overprinting at 6.07/6.20, and a camera FOV too narrow to read as a road).
**It accounts for observations coming in.** The screen is no longer built around one scenario — the template knows no chart and no slot name, it draws whatever the payload holds. `payload.py` reads `observations.yaml` directly, so **all 61 slots are on screen**, grouped by primitive P1–P8, collapsible, filterable by 값 있음 / UNKNOWN / 산출자 있음 / 미구현, with a search box. Today that reads **값 5 · UNKNOWN 2 · 산출자 11 · 미구현 50**. When an implementation lands you add one line to `PRODUCERS` and the screen follows.
Writing that map immediately caught drift I'd have shipped otherwise: **7 of the slot names I'd hand-written don't exist in the ontology** (`blinker_interval`, `brake_lights_on`, `gross_negligence`…). The real ones are `blinker`, `brake_light`, `hazard_lights`, `lamps_on`. A build-time assertion now fails on any name that isn't in `observations.yaml`, and 16 tests hold the rest (523 passing overall). The unimplemented slots also classify honestly rather than into one bucket — **20 geometry · 11 map · 6 kinematics · 6 vlm · 4 lights · 2 marking · 1 document**. The 20 "geometry" ones are the intere…
05:32 · askedyou've built a mock? how do i see clips with actual data?
05:32 · repliedFair — I built the shell and left the real path raising `NotImplementedError`. Let me check whether the cache actually exists before telling you it doesn't.
05:32 · repliedThe cache is right there — **690 clips** of tracks/timeline/lanes plus 3.5G of frames. I conflated "stale after the gate patches" with "absent". Let me wire the real path.
