+Score Vision SN44 — Unified miner v3.28 (2026-04-08). R9c vehicle FP16 (mAP50=0.929). Person: TTA consensus.
+Dual-model: vehicle (YOLO11m INT8 1280) + person (YOLO12s FP16 960 TRT).
+Pose model: YOLOv8n-pose FP16 640 for false-positive filtering + keypoint box refinement.
+Vehicle weights loaded from secondary HF repo (meaculpitt/ScoreVision-Vehicle).
+Person weights loaded from primary HF repo (template downloads automatically).
+
+Vehicle model (vehicle_weights.onnx):
+  Trained classes: 0=car, 1=bus, 2=truck, 3=motorcycle
+  Output: 0=bus, 1=car, 2=truck, 3=motorcycle. All classes scored (v3.20 bus fix).
+  Per-class confidence thresholds: car 0.45, truck 0.45, motorcycle 0.35.
+  Per-class aspect ratio bounds for FP filtering.
+  Single-pass (v3.19) — flip TTA removed for RTF improvement.
+
+Person model (person_weights.onnx):
+  YOLO12s FP16 960px end2end [1,300,6]. Single class: 0=person.
+  Background TRT build: starts on CUDA immediately, builds TRT FP16 engine in background
+  thread (~18min on fresh node), swaps to TRT atomically when ready. Cached thereafter.
+  SAHI-style tiling: full + 2 adaptive tiles + flip TTA, max-conf NMS merge.
+
+Pose model (pose_weights.onnx):
+  YOLOv8n-pose FP16 640px [1,56,8400]. 17 COCO keypoints.
+  Runs once on full image after person detection.
+  Anatomical keypoint scoring: weighted per-keypoint sum (head 0.38, upper 0.32, lower 0.30).
+  1. Head keypoints visible → never suppress, always refine box.
+  2. Score >= 0.15 → keep + refine. Score > 0 → keep as-is. Score == 0 + large + low-conf → suppress.
+  3. Box refinement: blend detected box with tight keypoint bbox for better fit.
+  Face detector (optional): if face_session loaded, face inside box → never suppress.
+
+Vehicle + person models run on every image when hint='both'. All detections merged.
+Vehicle eval uses cls_id 1-3. Person eval uses cls_id 0 only.
