ContextVP: Fully Context-Aware Video Prediction
Video prediction models based on convolutional networks, recurrent networks,
and their combinations often result in blurry predictions. We identify an
important contributing factor for imprecise predictions that has not been
studied adequately in the literature: blind spots, i.e., lack of access to all
relevant past information for accurately predicting the future. To address this
issue, we introduce a fully context-aware architecture that captures the entire
available past context for each pixel using Parallel Multi-Dimensional LSTM
units and aggregates it using blending units. Our model outperforms a strong
baseline network of 20 recurrent convolutional layers and yields
state-of-the-art performance for next step prediction on three challenging
real-world video datasets: Human 3.6M, Caltech Pedestrian, and UCF-101.
Moreover, it does so with fewer parameters than several recently proposed
models, and does not rely on deep convolutional networks, multi-scale
architectures, separation of background and foreground modeling, motion flow
learning, or adversarial training. These results highlight that full awareness
of past context is of crucial importance for video prediction.Comment: 19 pages. ECCV 2018 oral presentation. Project webpage is at
