New SKETCH model improves long-horizon vessel trajectory prediction

Researchers have developed a new framework called SKETCH for predicting vessel trajectories over long distances. This method conditions future path predictions on a high-level "Next Key Point" (NKP) to ensure global directional consistency and semantic feasibility. Experiments using real-world Automatic Identification System (AIS) data show that SKETCH significantly outperforms existing approaches, especially for extended travel times and precise trajectory modeling.
