We learn motion models for cyclist path prediction on real-world tracks obtained from a moving vehicle, and propose to exploit the local road topology to obtain better predictive distributions. The tracks are extracted from the Tsinghua-Daimler Cyclist Benchmark for cyclist detection, and corrected for vehicle egomotion. Tracks are then spatially aligned to local curves and crossings in the road. We study a standard approach for path prediction in the literature based on Kalman Filters, as well as a mixture of specialized filters related to specific road orientations at junctions. Our experiments demonstrate an improved prediction accuracy (up to 20% on sharp turns) of mixing specialized motion models for canonical directions, and prior knowledge on the road topology. The new track data complements the existing video, disparity and annotation data of the original benchmark, and will be made publicly available.
