Coupling Intent and Action for Pedestrian Crossing Behavior Prediction

1 code implementation10 May 2021 Yu Yao, Ella Atkins, Matthew Johnson Roberson, Ram Vasudevan, Xiaoxiao Du

In this work, we follow the neuroscience and psychological literature to define pedestrian crossing behavior as a combination of an unobserved inner will (a probabilistic representation of binary intent of crossing vs. not crossing) and a set of multi-class actions (e. g., walking, standing, etc.).
