FuSSI-Net: Fusion of Spatio-temporal Skeletons for Intention Prediction Network
Pedestrian intention recognition is very important to develop robust and safe
autonomous driving (AD) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
functionalities for urban driving. In this work, we develop an end-to-end
pedestrian intention framework that performs well on day- and night- time
scenarios. Our framework relies on objection detection bounding boxes combined
with skeletal features of human pose. We study early, late, and combined (early
and late) fusion mechanisms to exploit the skeletal features and reduce false
positives as well to improve the intention prediction performance. The early
fusion mechanism results in AP of 0.89 and precision/recall of 0.79/0.89 for
pedestrian intention classification. Furthermore, we propose three new metrics
to properly evaluate the pedestrian intention systems. Under these new
evaluation metrics for the intention prediction, the proposed end-to-end
network offers accurate pedestrian intention up to half a second ahead of the
actual risky maneuver.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, 5 tables, IEEE Asilomar SS
Context Trees: Augmenting Geospatial Trajectories with Context
Exposing latent knowledge in geospatial trajectories has the potential to
provide a better understanding of the movements of individuals and groups.
Motivated by such a desire, this work presents the context tree, a new
hierarchical data structure that summarises the context behind user actions in
a single model. We propose a method for context tree construction that augments
geospatial trajectories with land usage data to identify such contexts. Through
evaluation of the construction method and analysis of the properties of
generated context trees, we demonstrate the foundation for understanding and
modelling behaviour afforded. Summarising user contexts into a single data
structure gives easy access to information that would otherwise remain latent,
providing the basis for better understanding and predicting the actions and
behaviours of individuals and groups. Finally, we also present a method for
pruning context trees, for use in applications where it is desirable to reduce
the size of the tree while retaining useful information
Learning and Reasoning for Robot Sequential Decision Making under Uncertainty
Robots frequently face complex tasks that require more than one action, where
sequential decision-making (SDM) capabilities become necessary. The key
contribution of this work is a robot SDM framework, called LCORPP, that
supports the simultaneous capabilities of supervised learning for passive state
estimation, automated reasoning with declarative human knowledge, and planning
under uncertainty toward achieving long-term goals. In particular, we use a
hybrid reasoning paradigm to refine the state estimator, and provide
informative priors for the probabilistic planner. In experiments, a mobile
robot is tasked with estimating human intentions using their motion
trajectories, declarative contextual knowledge, and human-robot interaction
(dialog-based and motion-based). Results suggest that, in efficiency and
accuracy, our framework performs better than its no-learning and no-reasoning
counterparts in office environment.Comment: In proceedings of 34th AAAI conference on Artificial Intelligence,
