we init our recording, investigate available streams

Python

store = SqliteStore(path=get_data("go2_bigoffice.db"))

for name, stream in store.streams.items():
   print(stream.summary())

Stream("color_image"): 4164 items, 2025-12-26 11:09:08 — 2025-12-26 11:14:00 (292.5s)
Stream("color_image_embedded"): 267 items, 2025-12-26 11:09:12 — 2025-12-26 11:14:00 (288.4s)
Stream("lidar"): 2251 items, 2025-12-26 11:09:08 — 2025-12-26 11:14:00 (292.3s)
Stream("odom"): 5465 items, 2025-12-26 11:09:08 — 2025-12-26 11:14:00 (292.5s)

Any stream is drawable

Python

global_map = pickle.loads(get_data("unitree_go2_bigoffice_map.pickle").read_bytes())

drawing = Space()

# this is not necessary but we use a global map as a nice base for a drawing
drawing.add(global_map)
drawing.add(store.streams.color_image)
drawing.to_svg("assets/color_image.svg")

our drawing system applies turbo color scheme to timestamps by default output

we can create new streams by querying existing streams, and we can save, further transform or draw those

Python

drawing = Space()
drawing.add(global_map)

drawing.add(
  store.streams.color_image \
  # calculate speed in m/s by checking distance between poses and timestamps of observations
  .transform(speed()) \
  # rolling window average
  .transform(smooth(50)))

drawing.to_svg("assets/speed.svg")

we can do all kinds of things with this, for example map out room lighting

Python

drawing = Space()
drawing.add(global_map)

drawing.add(
  store.streams.color_image \
  # here we will take 4fps because brightness calculation loads the actual image
  # observation.data triggers another db query to fetch the data
  # otherwise observations only hold positions and timestamps
  .transform(throttle(0.25)) \
  # we calculate brightness
  .map(lambda obs: obs.derive(data=obs.data.brightness)))

drawing.to_svg("assets/brightness.svg")

So knowing above, we can create embeddings for the full stream,

Python

from dimos.models.embedding.clip import CLIPModel
from dimos.msgs.sensor_msgs.Image import Image
from dimos.memory2.transform import QualityWindow
from dimos.memory2.embed import EmbedImages

embedded = store.stream("color_image_embedded", Image)
clip = CLIPModel()

# Downsample to 2Hz, filter dark images, then embed
pipeline = (
    store.streams.color_image.filter(lambda obs: obs.data.brightness > 0.1)
    .transform(QualityWindow(lambda img: img.sharpness, window=0.5))
    .transform(EmbedImages(clip))
    .save(embedded)
)

print(pipeline)

this pipeline is ready to execute by lazy, we can execute it by iterating, or calling .drain()

skip

for obs in pipeline:
    print(f"  [{count}] ts={obs.ts:.2f} pose={obs.pose}")

let’s query it!

Python

from dimos.models.embedding.clip import CLIPModel

drawing = Space()
drawing.add(global_map)

clip = CLIPModel()
search_vector = clip.embed_text("shop")
drawing.add(store.streams.color_image_embedded.search(search_vector))

drawing.to_svg("assets/embedding.svg")

We don’t really have to deal with the whole global map actually, let’s get top 10 embeddings, and render only lidar around those.

Python

from dimos.models.embedding.clip import CLIPModel
from dimos.mapping.voxels import VoxelMapTransformer
drawing = Space()

# this is defined here, but not executed
matches = store.streams.color_image_embedded.search(search_vector, k=30)

print(matches) # Stream("color_image_embedded") | vector_search(k=50)

# here we execute it once, and feed it into a global mapper, then draw the map
drawing.add(
   matches.map(lambda obs: store.streams.lidar.at(obs.ts).last()) \
   .transform(VoxelMapTransformer()) \
   .last().data)

# then we add matches to the map
drawing.add(matches)

drawing.to_svg("assets/embedding_focused.svg")

Stream("color_image_embedded") | vector_search(k=30)
13:15:15.190 [inf][dimos/mapping/voxels.py       ] VoxelGrid using device: CUDA:0

let’s view those images

Python

plot_mosaic(matches.map(lambda obs: obs.data).to_list(), "assets/grid.png")
