Title: Hierarchical Model for Long-term Video Prediction,
Abstract: Video prediction has been an active topic of research in the past few years.
Many algorithms focus on pixel-level predictions, which generates results that
blur and disintegrate within a few frames. In this project, we use a
hierarchical approach for long-term video prediction. We aim at estimating
high-level structure in the input frame first, then predict how that structure
grows in the future. Finally, we use an image analogy network to recover a
realistic image from the predicted structure. Our method is largely adopted
from the work by Villegas et al. The method is built with a combination of
LSTMs and analogy-based convolutional auto-encoder networks. Additionally, in
order to generate more realistic frame predictions, we also adopt adversarial
loss. We evaluate our method on the Penn Action dataset, and demonstrate good
results on high-level long-term structure prediction.
