• Abstract: This paper considers semantic forecasting in road-driving scenes. Most existing approaches address this problem as deterministic regression of future features or future predictions given observed frames. However, such approaches ignore the fact that future can not always be guessed with certainty. For example, when a car is about to turn around a corner, the road which is currently occluded by buildings may turn out to be either free to drive, or occupied by people, other vehicles or roadworks. When a deterministic model confronts such situation, its best guess is to forecast the most likely outcome. However, this is not acceptable since it defeats the purpose of forecasting to improve security. It also throws away valuable training data, since a deterministic model is unable to learn any deviation from the norm. We address this problem by providing more freedom to the model through allowing it to forecast different futures. We propose to formulate multimodal forecasting as sampling of a multimodal generative model conditioned on the observed frames. Experiments on the Cityscapes dataset reveal that our multimodal model outperforms its deterministic counterpart in short-term forecasting while performing slightly worse in the mid-term case.

  We introduce a benchmark that queries future trajectories on streaming data and we refer to it as "streaming forecasting" Our benchmark inherently captures the disappearance and re-appearance of agents, which is a safety-critical problem yet overlooked by snapshot-based benchmarks. We propose a plug-and-play meta-algorithm called "Predictive Streamer" that can adapt any snapshot-based forecaster into a streaming forecaster.

  Recent studies have shown that deep learning models trained on a dataset following a long-tailed driving scenario distribution will suffer from large prediction errors in the "tails" This work defines a notion of prediction model uncertainty to quantify high errors due to sparse data. Results show that the proposed method can improve the safety of trajectory planning under the prediction uncertainty caused by insufficient data.
