Representing Multimodal Behaviors With Mean Location for Pedestrian Trajectory Prediction.

Representing multimodal behaviors is a critical challenge for pedestrian trajectory prediction. Previous methods commonly represent this multimodality with multiple latent variables repeatedly sampled from a latent space, encountering difficulties in interpretable trajectory prediction. Moreover, the latent space is usually built by encoding global interaction into future trajectory, which inevitably introduces superfluous interactions and thus leads to performance reduction.
