Overview

Abstract: Forecasting human trajectory is an essential technology in intelligent surveillance systems, robot navigation systems, autonomous driving systems, etc. Most of the trajectory prediction models based on RNN and Transformers use autoregressive methods to generate future trajectories, which may accumulate displacement errors and are inefficient for training and test. To address these problems, we propose a novel decoder (MRG decoder) which introduces a Mapping-Refinement-Generation structure in order to generate trajectory in a non-autoregressive manner. Based on the proposed MRG decoder, we design the MRGTraj trajectory prediction model. Firstly, we use a Transformer as an encoder to extract encoded features from the past trajectory. Secondly, we introduce an interaction-aware latent code generator to learn a Gaussian distribution from social context among pedestrians for latent code sampling. Finally, we feed the encoded features to the MRG decoder and sample the latent code multiple times from the learned Gaussian distribution as extra inputs to the MRG decoder to generate multiple socially acceptable future trajectories. The experimental results on two public datasets (ETH & UCY) demonstrate the effectiveness of the MRGTraj model. Besides, the MRGTraj model achieves superior prediction performance and it wins 3.85% and 13.21% improvement on ADE and FDE metrics, as well as 71.29% speed-up compared with the state-of-the-art models.
