Studies of embodiment show how contingencies scaffold first-person perspective and how the transition from a...

Future Person Localization in First-Person Videos

We present a new task that predicts future locations of people observed in first-person videos. Consider a firstperson video stream continuously recorded by a wearable camera. Given a short clip of a person that is extracted from the complete stream, we aim to predict that person’s location in future frames. To facilitate this future person localization ability, we make the following three key ...
