Human Motion Trajectory Prediction: A Survey
With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments,
the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human
behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future
positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key
tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance
systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We
review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different
communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on
the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We
provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We
discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further
research.Comment: Submitted to the International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR),

SINet: A Scale-insensitive Convolutional Neural Network for Fast Vehicle Detection
Vision-based vehicle detection approaches achieve incredible success in
recent years with the development of deep convolutional neural network (CNN).
However, existing CNN based algorithms suffer from the problem that the
convolutional features are scale-sensitive in object detection task but it is
common that traffic images and videos contain vehicles with a large variance of
scales. In this paper, we delve into the source of scale sensitivity, and
reveal two key issues: 1) existing RoI pooling destroys the structure of small
scale objects, 2) the large intra-class distance for a large variance of scales
exceeds the representation capability of a single network. Based on these
findings, we present a scale-insensitive convolutional neural network (SINet)
for fast detecting vehicles with a large variance of scales. First, we present
a context-aware RoI pooling to maintain the contextual information and original
structure of small scale objects. Second, we present a multi-branch decision
network to minimize the intra-class distance of features. These lightweight
techniques bring zero extra time complexity but prominent detection accuracy
improvement. The proposed techniques can be equipped with any deep network
architectures and keep them trained end-to-end. Our SINet achieves
state-of-the-art performance in terms of accuracy and speed (up to 37 FPS) on
the KITTI benchmark and a new highway dataset, which contains a large variance
of scales and extremely small objects.Comment: Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems
