• Title: InCrowdFormer: On-Ground Pedestrian World Model From Egocentric Views
• Authors: Mai Nishimura, Shohei Nobuhara, Ko Nishino
• Abstract summary: We introduce an on-ground Pedestrian World Model that can predict how pedestrians move around an observer in the crowd on the ground plane. InCrowdFormer fully leverages the Transformer architecture by modeling pedestrian interaction and egocentric to top-down view transformation with attention. We encode the uncertainties arising from unknown pedestrian heights with latent codes to predict the posterior distributions of pedestrian positions.

• Abstract: We introduce an on-ground Pedestrian World Model, a computational model that can predict how pedestrians move around an observer in the crowd on the ground plane, but from just the egocentric-views of the observer. Our model, InCrowdFormer, fully leverages the Transformer architecture by modeling pedestrian interaction and egocentric to top-down view transformation with attention, and autoregressively predicts on-ground positions of a variable number of people with an encoder-decoder architecture. We encode the uncertainties arising from unknown pedestrian heights with latent codes to predict the posterior distributions of pedestrian positions. We validate the effectiveness of InCrowdFormer on a novel prediction benchmark of real movements. The results show that InCrowdFormer accurately predicts the future coordination of pedestrians. To the best of our knowledge, InCrowdFormer is the first-of-its-kind pedestrian world model which we believe will benefit a wide range of egocentric-view applications including crowd navigation, tracking, and synthesis.

  Our model is a causal transformer trained via autoregressive prediction of sensorimotor trajectories. We show that our model enables a full-sized humanoid to walk in San Francisco zero-shot. Our model can transfer to the real world even when trained on only 27 hours of walking data, and can generalize commands not seen during training like walking backward.

We show that without explicit introduction of social masks, dynamical models, social pooling layers, or complicated graph-like structures, it is possible to produce on par results with SoTA models.
