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

An integrated method for short-term prediction of road traffic conditions for intelligent transportation systems applications
The paper deals with the short-term prediction of road traffic conditions within Intelligent Transportation Systems applications. First, the problem of traffic modeling and the potential of different traffic monitoring technologies are discussed. Then, an integrated method for short-term traffic prediction is presented, which integrates an Artificial Neural Network predictor that forecasts future states in standard conditions, an anomaly detection module that exploits floating car data to individuate possible occurrences of anomalous traffic conditions, and a macroscopic traffic model that predicts speeds and queue progressions in case of anomalies. Results of offline applications on a primary Italian motorway are presented
Tracking by Prediction: A Deep Generative Model for Mutli-Person localisation and Tracking
Current multi-person localisation and tracking systems have an over reliance
on the use of appearance models for target re-identification and almost no
approaches employ a complete deep learning solution for both objectives. We
present a novel, complete deep learning framework for multi-person localisation
and tracking. In this context we first introduce a light weight sequential
Generative Adversarial Network architecture for person localisation, which
overcomes issues related to occlusions and noisy detections, typically found in
a multi person environment. In the proposed tracking framework we build upon
recent advances in pedestrian trajectory prediction approaches and propose a
novel data association scheme based on predicted trajectories. This removes the
need for computationally expensive person re-identification systems based on
appearance features and generates human like trajectories with minimal
fragmentation. The proposed method is evaluated on multiple public benchmarks
including both static and dynamic cameras and is capable of generating
outstanding performance, especially among other recently proposed deep neural
network based approaches.Comment: To appear in IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer
