contents Humans combine prediction and perception to observe the world. When faced with rapidly moving birds or insects, we can only perceive them clearly by predicting their next position and focusing our gaze there. Inspired by this, this paper proposes the Prediction-As-Perception (PAP) framework, integrating a prediction-perception architecture into 3D object perception tasks to enhance the model's perceptual accuracy. The PAP framework consists of two main modules: prediction and perception, primarily utilizing continuous frame information as input. Firstly, the prediction module forecasts the potential future positions of ego vehicles and surrounding traffic participants based on the perception results of the current frame. These predicted positions are then passed as queries to the perception module of the subsequent frame. The perceived results are iteratively fed back into the prediction module. We evaluated the PAP structure using the end-to-end model UniAD on the nuScenes dataset. The results demonstrate that the PAP structure improves UniAD's target tracking accuracy by 10% and increases the inference speed by 15%. This indicates that such a biomimetic design significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of perception models while reducing computational resource consumption.
