Draw a thesis roadmap organised by chapter in Mermaid flowchart TB syntax for the thesis [your title]. One subgraph per chapter with the chapter title in square brackets and direction LR inside: Chapter 1 Introduction (background and motivation → state of the art → contributions and thesis outline); Chapter 2 Background (theoretical foundations → review of key techniques → gaps in existing work); Chapter 3 [name of contribution 1] (problem formulation → method design → evaluation); Chapter 4 [name of contribution 2] (same); Chapter 5 Integrated validation (system integration or joint experiments → results and discussion); Chapter 6 Conclusions (conclusions and contributions → limitations and future work). Chapter 1 leads to chapter 2, chapter 2 leads to chapters 3 and 4, both merge into chapter 5, chapter 5 leads to chapter 6, all connected by subgraph ids. Output only the mermaid code block.
