Summary: | Many spatiotemporal domains handle multi-agent trajectory data, but in
real-world scenarios, collected trajectory data are often partially missing due
to various reasons. While existing approaches demonstrate good performance in
trajectory imputation, they face challenges in capturing the complex dynamics
and interactions between agents due to a lack of physical constraints that
govern realistic trajectories, leading to suboptimal results. To address this
issue, the paper proposes a Derivative-Based Hybrid Prediction (DBHP) framework
that can effectively impute multiple agents' missing trajectories. First, a
neural network equipped with Set Transformers produces a naive prediction of
missing trajectories while satisfying the permutation-equivariance in terms of
the order of input agents. Then, the framework makes alternative predictions
leveraging velocity and acceleration information and combines all the
predictions with properly determined weights to provide final imputed
trajectories. In this way, our proposed framework not only accurately predicts
position, velocity, and acceleration values but also enforces the physical
relationship between them, eventually improving both the accuracy and
naturalness of the predicted trajectories. Accordingly, the experiment results
about imputing player trajectories in team sports show that our framework
significantly outperforms existing imputation baselines. |
