Aspects of the present application correspond to utilization of a set of inputs from vision systems to generate simulations or predicted paths of travel for dynamic objects detected from the vision systems. Illustratively, a service can process the set of inputs (e.g., the associated ground truth label data) collected from one or more vision systems (or additional services) to identify predicted paths of travel for any dynamic objects detected from the captured vision system information. Typically, a plurality of predicted paths of travels can be generated such that more than one path of travel may be considered to meet or exceed a minimal threshold. The resulting predicted paths of travel can be further associated with confidence values that characterize the likelihood that any one predicted path of travel for a detected dynamic object will occur. The generated and processed paths can be provided or used as inputs for additional systems, such as navigation systems/services, semi-automated or automated driving systems/services and the like.
