A Benchmark for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection in Multi-Agent Trajectories

Human intuition allows to detect abnormal driving scenarios in situations they never experienced before. Like humans detect those abnormal situations and take counter-measures to prevent collisions, self-driving cars need anomaly detection mechanisms. However, the literature lacks a standard benchmark for the comparison of anomaly detection algorithms. We fill the gap and propose the R-U-MAAD benchmark for unsupervised anomaly detection in multi-agent trajectories. The goal is to learn a representation of the normal driving from the training sequences without labels, and afterwards detect anomalies. We use the Argoverse Motion Forecasting dataset for the training and propose a test dataset of 160 sequences with human-annotated anomalies in urban environments. To this end we combine a replay of real-world trajectories and scene-dependent abnormal driving in the simulation. In our experiments we compare 11 baselines including linear models, deep auto-encoders and one-class classification models using standard anomaly detection metrics. The deep reconstruction and end-to-end one-class methods show promising results. The benchmark and the baseline models will be publicly available
