GeoWerkstatt August: Predicting Safe Paths for Autonomous Vehicles

© ikg

Whether on foot, by bike or by car: if we want to reach our destination without an accident, we need to know the way and, above all, pay attention to what other people and vehicles we encounter are doing. The research project aims to predict multiple future possibilities of agents around autonomous vehicles in order to prevent autonomous vehicles from causing collisions when planning their own paths. This requires a large amount of data to learn a multimodal distribution through a generative model to predict multiple possible future trajectories for each agent.

Info GeoWerkstatt - Insights into research

GeoWerkstatt is published monthly here on this website. Scientists take it in turns to report on their current research projects in the field of geodesy and geoinformatics. The Geodetic Institute (GIH), the Institute of Geodesy (IfE), the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics (IKG) and the Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation (IPI) are involved.
