VectorNet: Encoding HD Maps and Agent Dynamics from Vectorized Representation2020 ↗

Encodes HD map elements and agent trajectories as vectorized graph nodes processed by a graph neural network, replacing rasterized image stacks for motion prediction.

Became a standard trajectory-prediction representation in autonomous driving and mobile robotics stacks, cutting compute while improving prediction accuracy.
