This paper presents a novel framework for human trajectory prediction based
on multimodal data (video and radar). Motivated by recent neuroscience
discoveries, we propose incorporating a structured memory component in the
human trajectory prediction pipeline to capture historical information to
improve performance. We introduce structured LSTM cells for modelling the
memory content hierarchically, preserving the spatiotemporal structure of the
information and enabling us to capture both short-term and long-term context.
We demonstrate how this architecture can be extended to integrate salient
information from multiple modalities to automatically store and retrieve
important information for decision making without any supervision. We evaluate
the effectiveness of the proposed models on a novel multimodal dataset that we
introduce, consisting of 40,000 pedestrian trajectories, acquired jointly from
a radar system and a CCTV camera system installed in a public place. The
performance is also evaluated on the publicly available New York Grand Central
pedestrian database. In both settings, the proposed models demonstrate their
capability to better anticipate future pedestrian motion compared to existing
state of the art.Comment: To appear in ECML-PKDD 201
