Abstract:

Pedestrian pose prediction is an important topic, related closely to robotics and automation. Accurate predictions of human poses and motion can facilitate a more thorough understanding and analysis of human behavior, which benefits real-world applications such as human-robot interaction, humanoid and bipedal robot design, and safe navigation of mobile robots and autonomous vehicles. This article describes a deep predictive coding network (PredNet)-based approach for unsupervised pedestrian pose prediction from 2D camera imagery and provides experimental results of two real-world autonomous vehicle data sets. The article also discusses topics for future work in unsupervised and semisupervised pedestrian pose prediction and its potential applications in robotics and automation systems.
