  • Patent number: 11912271
    Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for predicting how an agent (e.g., a vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, etc.) will move in an environment based on prior movement, the road network, the surrounding objects and/or other relevant environmental factors. One trajectory prediction technique involves generating a probability map for an agent's movement. Another trajectory prediction technique involves generating a trajectory lattice, for an agent's movement. In addition, a different trajectory prediction technique involves multi-modal regression where a classifier (e.g., a neural network) is trained to classify the probability of a number of (learned) modes such that each model produces a trajectory based on the current input.

  • Publication number: 20230415772
    Abstract: A trajectory planning system can be used to select a trajectory for an autonomous vehicle. The trajectory planning system may generate multiple trajectories and extract features from the generated trajectories. The trajectory planning system may evaluate the trajectories based on the extracted features and select a trajectory for the vehicle based on the evaluation. The selected trajectory may be used to control the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11644842
    Abstract: Provided are methods for augmenting data related to generation of vehicle trajectories, which include predicting, using a machine learning model, a first trajectory of a vehicle at a first time in an environment surrounding the vehicle and including at least one object, detecting a deviation of the predicted first trajectory at the first time from a first ground truth trajectory of the vehicle and determining that, at the first time, the deviation satisfies a threshold, predicting, using the machine learning model, a second trajectory of the vehicle based on the predicted first trajectory of the vehicle and a second ground truth trajectory of at least one object at a second time being subsequent to the first time, and generating a training dataset for training the machine learning model using the predicted first and second trajectories of the vehicle. Systems and computer program products are also provided.
