{"title":"Feature Importance in Pedestrian Intention Prediction: A Context-Aware Review","authors":"Mohsen Azarmi, Mahdi Rezaei, He Wang, Ali Arabian","doi":"arxiv-2409.07645","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2409.07645","url":null,"abstract":"Recent advancements in predicting pedestrian crossing intentions for\u0000Autonomous Vehicles using Computer Vision and Deep Neural Networks are\u0000promising. However, the black-box nature of DNNs poses challenges in\u0000understanding how the model works and how input features contribute to final\u0000predictions. This lack of interpretability delimits the trust in model\u0000performance and hinders informed decisions on feature selection,\u0000representation, and model optimisation; thereby affecting the efficacy of\u0000future research in the field. To address this, we introduce Context-aware\u0000Permutation Feature Importance (CAPFI), a novel approach tailored for\u0000pedestrian intention prediction. CAPFI enables more interpretability and\u0000reliable assessments of feature importance by leveraging subdivided scenario\u0000contexts, mitigating the randomness of feature values through targeted\u0000shuffling. This aims to reduce variance and prevent biased estimations in\u0000importance scores during permutations. We divide the Pedestrian Intention\u0000Estimation (PIE) dataset into 16 comparable context sets, measure the baseline\u0000performance of five distinct neural network architectures for intention\u0000prediction in each context, and assess input feature importance using CAPFI. We\u0000observed nuanced differences among models across various contextual\u0000characteristics. The research reveals the critical role of pedestrian bounding\u0000boxes and ego-vehicle speed in predicting pedestrian intentions, and potential\u0000prediction biases due to the speed feature through cross-context permutation\u0000evaluation. We propose an alternative feature representation by considering\u0000proximity change rate for rendering dynamic pedestrian-vehicle locomotion,\u0000thereby enhancing the contributions of input features to intention prediction.\u0000These findings underscore the importance of contextual features and their\u0000diversity to develop accurate and robust intent-predictive models.","PeriodicalId":501289,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - EE - Image and Video Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With INR methods, a neural network is trained to\u0000overfit a video sequence, with its parameters compressed to obtain a compact\u0000representation of the video content. However, although promising results have\u0000been achieved, the best INR-based methods are still out-performed by the latest\u0000standard codecs, such as VVC VTM, partially due to the simple model compression\u0000techniques employed.
