Abstract
A method for tracking an object performed by an object tracking system includes encoding locations of visible objects in an environment captured in a current frame of a sequence of frames. The method also includes generating a representation of a current state of the environment based on an aggregation of the encoded locations and an encoded location of each object visible in one or more frames of the sequence of frames occurring prior to the current frame. The method further includes predicting a location of an object occluded in the current frame based on a comparison of object centers decoded from the representation of the current state to object centers saved from each prior representation associated with a different respective frame of the sequence of frames occurring prior to the current frame. The method still further includes adjusting a behavior of an autonomous agent in response to identifying the location of the occluded object.
