Where Will They Go? Modelling Multimodal Pedestrian Manoeuvres from Ego-centric Videos

arXiv:2606. 18824v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pedestrian trajectory prediction from an ego-centric camera is challenging since it depends on complex interactions with vehicles and scene context, as well as the intention of the pedestrian.

MTF-Net: Multi-Modal Temporal Feature Fusion Network for Pedestrian Intention Prediction

MTF‑Net is a Multi‑Modal Temporal Feature Fusion Network that jointly models kinematic, appearance, and contextual cues for pedestrian intention prediction. It fuses four modalities—bounding‑box dynamics, human pose keypoints, local context, and scene‑level semantics—within a recurrent framework enhanced by gated linear units (GLUs) and an attention‑guided fusion head. Evaluations on the PIE and JAAD benchmarks show that MTF‑Net outperforms recent transformer‑ and graph‑based models, achieving up to 0.95 AUC on PIE and 0.94 AUC on JAAD while maintaining real‑time performance.

TrajFusionNet+: Transformer-Based Prediction of Pedestrian Crossing Intention via Fusion of Trajectory Representations and Scene Graphs

TrajFusionNet+ is a transformer-based model that predicts pedestrian crossing intention by fusing sequential trajectory data, visual trajectory overlays, and graph-based scene context. It extends the earlier TrajFusionNet with three attention modules—Sequence, Visual, and Graph—to capture temporal, visual, and relational cues. The model outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods on the PIE and JAAD datasets and shows better generalization under a joint‑training, separate‑evaluation protocol.

MM-Future: Multi-Mode Joint World-Action Modeling for Autonomous Driving

MM-Future is a world-action model for autonomous driving that generates multiple paired scene-action hypotheses and captures bidirectional interaction within each pair. It initializes each hypothesis from a structured action prior and an independent future scene source, then co-evolves them using a modality-aware diffusion Transformer. The model compresses multi-view video into planning-oriented MM-Tokens and uses a future-conditioned proposal scorer to rank trajectory candidates, achieving strong performance on NAVSIM and HUGSIM benchmarks.

PV-WM: A Heterogeneous Micro-Macro World Model for Articulated Pedestrian-Vehicle Co-Rollout

PV-WM is a history‑only world model that jointly predicts pedestrian root motion, 15‑joint articulation, and vehicle kinematic states in a synchronized heterogeneous state. It uses recurrent updates to generate pedestrian and vehicle motion chunks, reconstructing vehicle boxes from predicted center, heading, and observed extent, and recomputes pedestrian‑vehicle geometry after each transition. Compared to a one‑shot predictor, PV‑WM reduces Root ADE by 12.7% and MPJPE by 14.8%, and across 824 Waymo contexts it lowers Root ADE by 5.2%, MPJPE by 7.6%, P‑V distance error by 11.9%, and oriented‑box closest‑approach error by 5.8%, while using 57.1% fewer parameters, 96.5% fewer FLOPs, and 25.5% lower p95 latency.

MINT: A Unified Model for World-Space Camera and Hand Motion Estimation from Scalable Egocentric Pipeline Supervision

MINT is a foundation model that directly predicts world-space two-hand trajectories from egocentric RGB video, jointly estimating camera motion, hand states, and hand presence in a single spatiotemporal representation. It uses an open-source labeling pipeline, EGOPIPELINE, to generate large-scale pseudo-labels for pretraining, followed by fine-tuning on a small set of high-quality joint annotations. The model outperforms existing multi-stage approaches in accuracy and speed, and generalizes zero‑shot to unseen egocentric datasets.
