This paper analyzes in detail how different loss functions influence the generalization abilities of a deep learning-based next frame prediction model for traffic scenes. Our prediction model is a convolutional long-short term memory (ConvLSTM) network that generates the pixel values of the next frame after having observed the raw pixel values of a sequence of four past frames. We trained the model with 21 combinations of seven loss terms using the Cityscapes Sequences dataset and an identical hyper-parameter setting. The loss terms range from pixel-error based terms to adversarial terms. To assess the generalization abilities of the resulting models, we generated predictions up to 20 time-steps into the future for four datasets of increasing visual distance to the training dataset—KITTI Tracking, BDD100K, UA-DETRAC, and KIT AIS Vehicles. All predicted frames were evaluated quantitatively with both traditional pixel-based evaluation metrics, that is, mean squared error (MSE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity index (SSIM), and recent, more advanced, feature-based evaluation metrics, that is, Fréchet inception distance (FID), and learned perceptual image patch similarity (LPIPS). The results show that solely by choosing a different combination of losses, we can boost the prediction performance on new datasets by up to 55%, and by up to 50% for long-term predictions. |
