Abstract

Techniques for determining unified futures of objects in an environment are discussed herein. Techniques may include determining a first feature associated with an object in an environment and a second feature associated with the environment and based on a position of the object in the environment, updating a graph neural network (GNN) to encode the first feature and second feature into a graph node representing the object and encode relative positions of additional objects in the environment into one or more edges attached to the node. The GNN may be decoded to determine a distribution of predicted positions for the object in the future. A predicted position of the object at a subsequent timestep may be determined by sampling from the distribution of predicted positions according to various sampling strategies. Alternatively, the predicted position of the object may be overwritten using a candidate position of the object.
