  • Publication number: 20240290105
    Abstract: A method for sequential point cloud forecasting is described. The method includes training a vector-quantized conditional variational autoencoder (VQ-CVAE) framework to map an output to a closest vector in a discrete latent space to obtain a future latent space. The method also includes outputting, by a trained VQ-CVAE, a categorical distribution of a probability of V vectors in a discrete latent space in response to an input previously sampled latent space and past point cloud sequences. The method further includes sampling an inferred future latent space from the categorical distribution of the probability of the V vectors in the discrete latent space. The method also includes predicting a future point cloud sequence according to the inferred future latent space and the past point cloud sequences. The method further includes denoising, by a denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM), the predicted future point cloud sequences according to an added noise.
