Abstract

We present a hierarchical behavior model to simulate realistic crowd behaviors. This model is composed of two parts. One is the low density behavior module, emphasizing the autonomy and diversity of the behaviors. The other is high density behavior module, paying attention to showing the flocking instincts of the crowd. We design a new mechanism to schedule them to generate appropriate behaviors based on the crowd density. We also take into account the impact of the crowd density on the motion speed and provide an interface for the users to control the motions of the crowd. The experimental results show that our hierarchical behavior model not only well reflects the characteristics of the human behaviors, but also shows plausible crowd behaviors to respond properly to certain event.

Do people in a crowd behave like a set of isolated individuals or like a cohesive group? Studies of crowd modeling usually consider pedestrian behavior either from the point of view of an isolated individual or from that of large swarms. We introduce ...

In this paper, we propose a role-dependent data-driven modeling approach to simulate pedestrians' motion in high density scenes. It is commonly observed that pedestrians behave quite differently when walking in dense crowd. Some people explore routes ...
