  1. This paper introduces the trajectory divergence rate, a scalar field which locally gives the instantaneous attraction or repulsion of adjacent trajectories. This scalar field may be used to find highly attracting or repelling invariant manifolds, such as slow manifolds, to rapidly approximate hyperbolic Lagrangian coherent structures, or to provide the local stability of invariant manifolds. This work presents the derivation of the trajectory divergence rate and the related trajectory divergence ratio for two-dimensional systems, investigates their properties, shows their application to several example systems, and presents their extension to higher dimensions.

  2. Existing methods for pedestrian motion trajectory prediction are learning and predicting the trajectories in the 2D image space. In this work, we observe that it is much more efficient to learn and predict pedestrian trajectories in the 3D space since the human motion occurs in the 3D physical world and and their behavior patterns are better represented in the 3D space. To this end, we use a stereo camera system to detect and track the human pose with deep neural networks. During pose estimation, these twin deep neural networks satisfy the stereo consistence constraint. We adapt the existing SocialGAN method to perform pedestrian motion trajectory prediction from the 2D to the 3D space. Our extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method significantly improves the pedestrian trajectory prediction performance, outperforming existing state-of-the-art methods.
