## 🔍 Automatic Device Matching

### Enhanced Upload Endpoint

**Location:** `/home/dell/coding/giglez/src/api/routes/captures_enhanced.py`

**Endpoint:** `POST /api/v1/captures/upload/enhanced`

### Workflow

```
User uploads .sub file
    ↓
Parse .sub → SignalMetadata
    ↓
Store in database (Capture record)
    ↓
Run SignatureMatcher.match()
    ├─ ExactMatcher (protocol + freq + bit_length)
    ├─ PartialMatcher (protocol + freq)
    ├─ PatternMatcher (bit pattern similarity)
    ├─ TimingMatcher (pulse width ranges)
    ├─ FrequencyMatcher (freq proximity)
    ├─ RTL433Decoder (if RAW data)
    └─ PatternBasedStrategy (timing analysis)
    ↓
Store top 10 matches in CaptureMatch table
    ↓
Set capture.device_id to best match
    ↓
Return results to user with confidence scores
```

### Key Features

1. **Runs on Every Upload**
   - Automatic matching triggered for each file
   - No background job needed (fast enough)

2. **Stores All Matches**
   - Top 10 candidates saved in `capture_matches` table
   - Allows review of alternative identifications

3. **Confidence Scoring**
   - 1.0: Exact protocol match
   - 0.95: RTL_433 successful decode
   - 0.7-0.9: Pattern matching
   - 0.5-0.7: Frequency proximity

4. **Batch Matching Endpoint**
   - `POST /captures/match_batch`
   - Backfill matches for existing captures
   - Useful for re-running after database updates

### Response Format

```json
{
    "successful": [
        {
            "filename": "capture_001.sub",
            "status": "uploaded",

## 📝 Manual Device Labeling System

### Frontend Components

#### 1. **JavaScript .sub Parser**

**Location:** `/home/dell/coding/giglez/static/js/sub_parser.js`

**Features:**
- Browser-based .sub file parsing (no server round-trip)
- Supports KEY, RAW, and BinRAW formats
- Extracts all metadata fields
- Computes pulse statistics for RAW files
- Provides feature extraction for ML classifiers
- Validates frequency ranges and required fields

**API:**
```javascript
// Parse .sub file
const metadata = SubParser.parseSubFile(fileContent);

// Extract statistical features (47-dimensional vector)
const features = SubParser.extractStatisticalFeatures(metadata);

// Normalize for CNN input (512 samples, [-1, 1])
const cnnInput = SubParser.normalizeForCNN(metadata.raw_data);

// Validate
const validation = SubParser.validateSubFile(metadata);
```

#### 2. **Enhanced Upload UI**

**Location:** `/home/dell/coding/giglez/static/js/upload_enhanced.js`

**Features:**

**A. Real-Time File Parsing**
- Parse .sub files immediately on selection
- Display signal details (frequency, protocol, modulation)
- Compute and show pulse statistics

**B. Device Labeling Options**

Three modes:

1. **Select from Known Devices**
   - Autocomplete search box
   - Fetches device database from API
   - Filters by manufacturer, model, device type
   - Shows top 10 matches

2. **Add New Device**
   - Form with device type dropdown
   - Manufacturer and model text inputs
   - Notes textarea
   - Photo upload (optional)
   - Creates new device in database

3. **Skip Labeling**
   - Let AI identify automatically
   - No manual input required

**C. Batch Labeling**
- Apply label to multiple files
- Track labeling state per file

### Backend Handling

**Manual Label Types:**

#### 1. `manual_existing` (User Selected from Database)

```json
{
    "filename": "capture_001.sub",
    "device_id": 123,
    "source": "manual_existing"
}
```

**Processing:**
- Override automatic match with user selection
- Set `capture.device_id` = selected device
- Set `match_confidence` = 1.0 (user-confirmed)
- Create `ManualIdentification` record
- Mark for community verification

#### 2. `manual_new` (User Created New Device)

```json
{
    "filename": "capture_002.sub",
    "device_type": "Weather Sensor",
    "manufacturer": "Oregon Scientific",
    "model": "THGN123N",
    "notes": "Temperature sensor from my backyard",
    "source": "manual_new"
}
```

**Processing:**
- Check if device already exists (by manufacturer + model)
- Create new `Device` if needed
- Link capture to device
- Create `ManualIdentification` record
- Flag device as unverified (needs community review)

### Training Data Collection

**Benefits:**
1. **High-Quality Labels:** User-provided ground truth
2. **Unknown Device Coverage:** Expands dataset beyond existing signatures
3. **Community Verification:** Multiple users can confirm identifications
4. **Photo Evidence:** Visual confirmation of physical devices

**Storage:**
- `manual_identifications` table tracks all user submissions
- `verification_count` field enables voting system
- `verified=True` after 3+ confirmations
- Photos stored in blob storage with metadata links

### Model 1: 1D CNN for Pulse Timing Classification

**Architecture:**
```python
Input: (batch_size, 512, 1)  # Fixed-length pulse array, normalized to [-1, 1]

Conv1D(64, kernel=16, stride=2) + BatchNorm + MaxPool(4) + Dropout(0.2)
Conv1D(128, kernel=8, stride=2) + BatchNorm + MaxPool(4) + Dropout(0.3)
Conv1D(256, kernel=4, stride=2) + BatchNorm + GlobalAvgPool
Dense(512, relu) + Dropout(0.4)
Dense(num_classes, softmax)
```

**Training:**
- Optimizer: Adam (lr=0.001, decay=1e-6)
- Loss: Categorical cross-entropy with label smoothing
- Data augmentation: Time stretching, noise injection, clipping
- Batch size: 32, Epochs: 50 with early stopping

**Deployment:**
- TensorFlow.js (browser inference)

- Interpretable feature importance

### Model 3: Heuristic Matcher

**Keep Existing System:**
- Already implemented and working
- ExactMatcher, PartialMatcher, PatternMatcher, etc.
- Handles decoded signals perfectly (1.0 confidence)

### Ensemble Strategy

**Dynamic Weighting** based on signal type:

| Signal Type | CNN | Statistical | Heuristic |
|-------------|-----|-------------|-----------|
| Decoded (KEY format) | 0.10 | 0.10 | 0.80 |
| RAW with >500 samples | 0.45 | 0.25 | 0.30 |
| RAW with <100 samples | 0.20 | 0.40 | 0.40 |
| Known protocol detected | 0.05 | 0.05 | 0.90 |

### Training Data Strategy

**Labeling Methods:**

1. **Automatic Labels** (15,000 samples)
   - File path structure extraction
   - Decoded protocol name match
   - RTL_433 successful decode

2. **Manual Labels** (1,000+ expected over 6 months)
   - User-submitted via upload form
   - Community verification voting

3. **Semi-Supervised Learning** (25,000+ potential)
   - Use high-confidence heuristic matches as pseudo-labels
   - Iterative refinement loop

**Class Imbalance Handling:**
- Class weighting (scikit-learn)
- Focal loss (penalize easy examples)
- Stratified sampling (ensure rare classes in each batch)

**Train/Val/Test Split:**
- Training: 68% (~28,000 samples)

const cnnModel = await tf.loadGraphModel('/static/models/cnn_v1/model.json');
const statSession = await ort.InferenceSession.create('/static/models/stat_v1.onnx');
```

**Predict:**
```javascript
async function predictDevice(subFileContent) {
    // Parse .sub file
    const metadata = SubParser.parseSubFile(subFileContent);

    // CNN prediction
    const cnnInput = SubParser.normalizeForCNN(metadata.raw_data);
    const cnnTensor = tf.tensor3d([cnnInput.map(x => [x])], [1, 512, 1]);
    const cnnProbs = await cnnModel.predict(cnnTensor).data();

    // Statistical classifier prediction
    const features = SubParser.extractStatisticalFeatures(metadata);
    const statResults = await statSession.run({input: new ort.Tensor('float32', features, [1, 47])});
    const statProbs = statResults.probabilities.data;

    // Heuristic matcher (API call)
    const heuristicMatches = await fetch('/api/v1/match_heuristic', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify(metadata)
    }).then(r => r.json());

    // Ensemble
