Unsupervised Pedestrian Pose Prediction: A deep predictive coding network-based approach for autonomous vehicle perception

Abstract

Pedestrian pose prediction is an important topic related closely to robotics and automation. Accurate predictions of human pose 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-based approach for unsupervised pedestrian pose prediction from two-dimensional (2D) camera imagery and provides experimental results on two real-world autonomous vehicle data sets. This article also presents a discussion on topics for future work in unsupervised and semi-supervised pedestrian pose prediction and its potential applications in robotics and automation systems.
