Abstract
Provided are methods and systems for semantic behavior filtering for prediction improvement. A method for operating an autonomous vehicle is provided. The method includes obtaining, by at least one processor, semantic image data associated with an environment in which an autonomous vehicle is operating. The method includes determining, by the at least one processor a set of agents in the environment based on the semantic image data. The method includes determining, by the at least one processor, a set of secondary agents from the set of agents based on a relative location of a respective secondary agent to a respective object and a set of object semantic behavior data associated with the respective object. The method includes determining, from the set of agents, a set of primary agents other than secondary agents. The method includes generating a path for the autonomous vehicle based on the set of primary agents.
