Short summary
Short summary
A trajectory prediction model based on Transfomer has been proposed to address the issue of long-term prediction accuracy in complex traffic environments. Optimizing multi-head attention based on knowledge of the scene context and vehicle position generates interactions between maps and agents, as well as between agents themselves. Its effectiveness has been evaluated on the basis of the outdoor dataset, and higher precision was achieved.

Short summary
Short summary
We developed a fast and compact model to detect pedestrians in crowded scenes, especially when people are partly hidden or far away. Our method improves how the model learns from small and difficult cases, and how it balances speed and accuracy. It runs much faster than current systems while maintaining similar accuracy, making it suitable for real-time use on mobile and edge devices.
