Autonomous Driving (AD) has the potential to revolutionize mobility and bring lasting benefits to society. It is thus at the forefront of AI research and has attracted the attention of both academia and industry. As an example, half of the exhibitions at CVPR 2019 are related to AD. From a Computer Vision perspective, the most relevant task in AD is Perception, i.e. understanding the world around the car. After discussions with both academic researchers and industrial practitioners, we feel that the temporal and multi-modal aspects of perception have been overlooked. Robust tracking and more importantly prediction of movement, for both vehicles and pedestrians, are critical for AD. This issue is particularly acute in dense urban environments, which are heterogeneous multi-agent systems consisting of diverse traffic participants with a great variety of shapes, dynamics, behaviors, and intents.

We will be starting a new competition at the workshop focused on motion prediction:
Abstract: Motion Prediction (ability to predict the future behaviour of detected objects around AV) is quickly becoming the next frontier of AV research. In this session, we will go over the new motion prediction competition starting this week at ECCV and sponsored by Lyft Level 5 with $30k in prizes. Summary: Task: Predict future motion of vehicles around AV Dataset: Lyft Prediction Dataset 2020 Starting: 24th August (tomorrow) Duration: 3 months Prizes: $30k Run at Kaggle Sponsored and organised by Lyft Level 5
Task: Motion forecasting for self-driving
Dataset: Lyft prediction dataset 2020
Duration: 3 months
Platform: Kaggle
Prizes $30k
Interested researchers from both, academia or industry are invited to submit non-anonymous extended abstracts.
Submission information:
Page limit: 2-4 pages of main+references, and 0+ pages of supplementary, as a single PDF
Submission Website: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/PAD2020
LaTeX Template: https://eccv2020.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/eccv2020kit-1.zip (for submission only)
Camera-ready submission information:
The camera-ready submission will include: (1) main paper, (2) (optional) supplementary material, (3) 3-min video, and (4) the slides for the 3-min video.
Main paper: at most "5" pages including references, in a PDF named "PAD-XX.pdf", where XX stands for the paper ID (e.g., 01, 11).
Supplementary material: You may upload the supplementary material in a PDF named "PAD-XX-suppl.pdf". There is no limit on the number of pages.
3-min video: mp4 format
Slides: in a PDF named "PAD-XX-slides.pdf"
Camera-ready versions that do not follow the page limit may not be posted on our website and will not be presented in the workshop.
Presentation:
Accepted papers will be presented in a 3-min recorded video and a live Q&A format.
Accepted papers will be posted on the website, but there will not be archival proceedings.
