A Crowd Modeling Framework for Socially Plausible Animation Behaviors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a framework for crowd modeling that produces socially plausible animation behaviors. Our high-level behavioral model is able to produce appropriate animated behavior that includes synchronized body-orientation and gesture of individual actors within the simulation. Because the model operationalizes a well-founded social-linguistic Common Ground (CG) theory of human interaction, the behavior chains form meaningful interactions among the actors. The model includes micro-behaviors relating to CG theory, and macro-behavior relating to the animation context. This allows reuse of the micro-behaviors as animation contexts change and flexible adaptation to different animation contexts.

Simulating gaze attention behaviors for crowds
Crowd animation is a topic of high interest which offers many challenges. One of the most important is the trade-off between rich, realistic behaviors and computational costs. To this end, much effort has been put into creating variety in character representation and animation. Nevertheless, one aspect still lacking realism in virtual crowd characters resides in their attention behaviors. In th...
متن کاملSimulating and animating social dynamics: embedding small pedestrian groups in crowds
We present a crowd model informed by common ground theory to accommodate high-level socially aware behavioral realism of characters in crowd simulations. In our approach, group members maintain group cohesiveness by communicating and adapting their behaviors to each other. The resulting character behaviors in animations form a consequential chain interpreted as a coherent story by observers. We...
متن کاملLearning Behavior Patterns from Video: A Data-driven Framework for Agent-based Crowd Modeling
This paper proposes a generic data-driven crowd modeling framework to generate crowd behaviors that can match the video data. The proposed framework uses a dual-layer mechanism to model the crowd behaviors. The bottom layer models the microscopic collision avoidance behaviors, while the top layer models the macroscopic crowd behaviors such as the goal selection patterns and the path navigation ...

Crowd simulations are becoming more popular in entertainment industry and interactive applications. However, the task of rendering and animating crowds of virtual humans in real-time is challenging. In this paper, we describe recent progress on crowd simulation research on three different levels, namely, geometry, animation and behavior. These three levels deal with implementation issues from l...
متن کاملA Framework for Group Modeling in Agent-Based Pedestrian Crowd Simulations
Pedestrian crowd simulation explores crowd behaviors in virtual environments. It is extensively studied in many areas, such as safety and civil engineering, transportation, social science, entertainment industry and so on. As a common phenomenon in pedestrian crowds, grouping can play important roles in crowd behaviors. To achieve more realistic simulations, it is important to support group mod...
