Abstract
A method for predicting at least one future velocity vector and/or a future pose of a pedestrian in an area of prediction. A map of a surrounding environment of the pedestrian and current velocity vectors of other pedestrians in the area of prediction are taken into account in the prediction.
Claims12
A method for predicting at least one future velocity vector and/or a future pose of a pedestrian of a plurality of pedestrians in a prediction area, the method comprising:
- predicting the at least one future velocity vector and/or the future pose of the pedestrian;
- taking into account, in the prediction, a map of the prediction area and current velocity vectors of further pedestrians of the plurality of pedestrians in the prediction area;
- and
- using a result of the prediction to control a self-driving vehicle or a robot in such a way that a collision with the pedestrian is avoided, wherein social interactions between at least some of pedestrians belonging to the plurality of pedestrians in the prediction area are taken into account in the prediction, wherein the plurality of pedestrians are members of a common group such that the social interactions are attractive interactions according to which members of the common group do not move further than a specifiable distance from a midpoint of the common group.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for predicting at least one future velocity vector and/or a future pose of a pedestrian of a plurality of pedestrians in a prediction area, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform:
- predicting the at least one future velocity vector and/or the future pose of the pedestrian;
- taking into account, in the prediction, a map of the prediction area and current velocity vectors of further pedestrians of the plurality of pedestrians in the prediction area;
- and
- using a result of the prediction to control a self-driving vehicle or a robot in such a way that a collision with the pedestrian is avoided, wherein social interactions between at least some of pedestrians belonging to the plurality of pedestrians in the prediction area are taken into account in the prediction, wherein the plurality of pedestrians are members of a common group such that the social interactions are attractive interactions according to which members of the common group do not move further than a specifiable distance from a midpoint of the common group.
An electronic control device configured to predict at least one future velocity vector and/or a future pose of a pedestrian of a plurality of pedestrians in a prediction area, the electronic control device configured to:
- predict the at least one future velocity vector and/or the future pose of the pedestrian;
- and
- take into account, in the prediction, a map of the prediction area and current velocity vectors of further pedestrians of the plurality of pedestrians in the prediction area, wherein the electronic control device is further configured to control a self-driving vehicle or a robot, in such a way that a collision with the pedestrian is avoided, wherein social interactions between at least some of pedestrians belonging to the plurality of pedestrians in the prediction area are taken into account in the prediction, wherein the plurality of pedestrians are members of a common group such that the social interactions are attractive interactions according to which members of the common group do not move further than a specifiable distance from a midpoint of the common group.
