This project studies the challenging problem of predicting the dynamics of objects in static images. Given a query object in an image, our goal is to provide a physical understanding of the object in terms of the forces acting upon it and its long term motion as response to those forces.

Example Predictions

The predicted future trajectory of the objects has been visualized. Example Predictions
