This repository supports several state of the art pedestrian trajectory forecasting models on both short term (3.2 seconds input, 4.8 seconds ouput) and long term (upto a minute in future) prediction horizons. To train/test models, please visit the PECNet and Ynet folders for model-specific code.
Keywords: human path prediction, human trajectory prediction, human path forecasting, pedestrian location forecasting, location prediction, position forecasting, future path forecasting, long term prediction, instantaneous prediction, next second location, multi-agent forecasting, behavior prediction
Stanford Drone Dataset:
- Both Short and Long Term prediction horizon dataloaders
- Hand Annotated Segmentation Maps

It is Not the Journey but the Destination: Endpoint Conditioned Trajectory Prediction
Published at ECCV 2020 (Oral)
Abstract: Human trajectory forecasting with multiple socially interacting agents is of critical importance for autonomous navigation in human environments, e.g., for self-driving cars and social robots. In this work, we present Predicted Endpoint Conditioned Network (PECNet) for flexible human trajectory prediction. PECNet infers distant trajectory endpoints to assist in long-range multi-modal trajectory prediction. A novel nonlocal social pooling layer enables PECNet to infer diverse yet socially compliant trajectories. Additionally, we present a simple “truncation trick” for improving diversity and multi-modal trajectory prediction performance.
Below is an example of pedestrian trajectories predicted by our model and the corresponding ground truth. Left pane shows future trajectories for 9.6 seconds predicted in a recurrent input fashion. Right pane shows the predicted trajectories for future 4.8 seconds at an intersection. Solid circles represent the past input & stars represent the future ground truth. Predicted multi-modal trajectories are shown as translucent circles jointly for all present pedestrians. Animation is best viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Abstract: Human trajectory forecasting is an inherently multimodal problem. Uncertainty in future trajectories stems from two sources: (a) sources that are known to the agent but unknown to the model, such as long term goals and (b) sources that are unknown to both the agent & the model, such as intent of other agents & irreducible randomness in decisions. We propose to factorize this uncertainty into its epistemic & aleatoric sources. We model the epistemic uncertainty through multimodality in long term goals and the aleatoric uncertainty through multimodality in waypoints & paths. To exemplify this dichotomy, we also propose a novel long term trajectory forecasting setting, with prediction horizons upto a minute, upto an order of magnitude longer than prior works. Finally, we present Y-net, a scene compliant trajectory forecasting network that exploits the proposed epistemic & aleatoric structure for diverse trajectory predictions across long prediction horizons. Y-net significantly improves previous state-of-the-art performance on both (a) The short prediction horizon setting on the Stanford Drone (31.7% in FDE) & ETH/UCY datasets (7.4% in FDE) and (b) The proposed long horizon setting on the re-purposed Stanford Drone & Intersection Drone datasets.
Below is a GIF visualization demonstrating the goal, waypoint and path multimodality for long term human trajectory prediction (30 seconds horizon). Given the past 5 seconds input history (green), we predict diverse future trajectories (current location in orange, past in red).
