Abstract: A trajectory prediction apparatus is configured to execute the following operations. A reference path line is selected from multiple path lines of a scene based on multiple first trajectory coordinates of an object, wherein the first trajectory coordinates and the path lines correspond to a first coordinate system. The first trajectory coordinates of the first coordinate system are transformed into multiple second trajectory coordinates corresponding to a second coordinate system, wherein the second trajectory coordinates indicate relationships of the object corresponding to the reference path line. A predicted trajectory of the object is generated based on the second trajectory coordinates by using a prediction model.
