EgoNeMo framework uses LiDAR for transferable pedestrian motion maps

Researchers have developed EgoNeMo, a novel framework for creating transferable Maps of Dynamics (MoD) using egocentric 3D LiDAR scans. This approach addresses the limitations of traditional MoD methods, which require extensive data collection at each new location. EgoNeMo employs neural implicit modeling and a position-balanced sampling strategy to generalize to unknown environments from sparse data. The framework also incorporates a multi-task learning architecture and visibility-aware losses to improve motion distribution prediction and compensate for incomplete observations, ultimately enhancing downstream trajectory prediction reliability. AI

IMPACT Enables more robust pedestrian trajectory prediction and robot navigation in previously unmapped environments.

    EgoNeMo: Transferable Map of Pedestrian Dynamics via Egocentric LiDAR Scan

    arXiv:2609.06195v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes a transferable Map of Dynamics (MoD) framework that generalizes to unknown environments using only egocentric 3D LiDAR point clouds to overcome the long-standing limitation of traditional MoD methods. While MoDs …
