• Authors: Mengmeng Liu, Hao Cheng, Lin Chen, Hellward Broszio, Jiangtao Li, Runjiang Zhao, Monika Sester and Michael Ying Yang
• Abstract summary: Trajectory prediction for autonomous driving must continuously reason the motionity of road agents and comply with scene constraints. Existing methods typically rely on one-stage trajectory prediction models, which condition future trajectories on observed trajectories combined with fused scene information. We present a novel method, called LAformer, which uses a temporally dense lane-aware estimation module to select only the top highly potential lane segments in an HD map.

• Abstract: Trajectory prediction for autonomous driving must continuously reason the motion stochasticity of road agents and comply with scene constraints. Existing methods typically rely on one-stage trajectory prediction models, which condition future trajectories on observed trajectories combined with fused scene information. However, they often struggle with complex scene constraints, such as those encountered at intersections. To this end, we present a novel method, called LAformer. It uses a temporally dense lane-aware estimation module to select only the top highly potential lane segments in an HD map, which effectively and continuously aligns motion dynamics with scene information, reducing the representation requirements for the subsequent attention-based decoder by filtering out irrelevant lane segments. Additionally, unlike one-stage prediction models, LAformer utilizes predictions from the first stage as anchor trajectories and adds a second-stage motion refinement module to further explore temporal consistency across the complete time horizon. Extensive experiments on Argoverse 1 and nuScenes demonstrate that LAformer achieves excellent performance for multimodal trajectory prediction.

  We introduce the GPT style next token motion prediction into motion prediction. Different from language data which is composed of homogeneous units -words, the elements in the driving scene could have complex spatial-temporal and semantic relations. We propose to adopt three factorized attention modules with different neighbors for information aggregation and different position encoding styles to capture their relations.

  A self-driving vehicle (SDV) must be able to perceive its surroundings and predict the future behavior of other traffic participants. Existing works either perform object detection followed by trajectory of the detected objects, or predict dense occupancy and flow grids for the whole scene. This motivates our unified approach to perception and future prediction that implicitly represents occupancy and flow over time with a single neural network.

Most state-of-the-art networks built to tackle the problem assume readily available past trajectory points. We propose a novel end-to-end architecture that takes raw video inputs and outputs future trajectory predictions.
