Displacing ‘Humans’: Merce Cunningham’s Crowds

Virtual Humans ’ Behaviour : Individuals , Groups , and Crowds

In this paper, we first try to identify which mechanisms should be simulated in order to implement truly virtual humans or actors. We start from a structure linking perception, emotion, behavior, and action. Then, we emphasize the central concept of autonomy and introduce the concept of Levels of Autonomy. Finally, we propose a new abstraction for specification of behaviours in complex virtual ...

Detection and Tracking of Multiple Humans in High-density Crowds

As public concern about crime and terrorist activity increases, the importance of public security is growing, and video surveillance systems are increasingly widespread tools for monitoring, management, and law enforcement in public areas. The visual surveillance system has become popular research area in computer vision. There are many algorithms exists to detect and track people in video stre...

Identifying clonidine-displacing substance.

Semantic crowds

Recent advances in crowd simulation techniques have led to increasingly realistic agent and group behavior. As many crowd simulation solutions typically target only specific types of environments and scenarios, numerous special-purpose methods and systems have emerged that are unsuitable for other contexts. Solving this situation demands a higher-level approach that takes re-use and re-configur...

Morphable Crowds
