In various examples, past location information corresponding to actors in an environment and map information may be applied to a deep neural network (DNN)—such as a recurrent neural network (RNN)—trained to compute information corresponding to future trajectories of the actors. The output of the DNN may include, for each future time slice the DNN is trained to predict, a confidence map representing a confidence for each pixel that an actor is present and a vector field representing locations of actors in confidence maps for prior time slices. The vector fields may thus be used to track an object through confidence maps for each future time slice to generate a predicted future trajectory for each actor. The predicted future trajectories, in addition to tracked past trajectories, may be used to generate full trajectories for the actors that may aid an ego-vehicle in navigating the environment.
