Adaptive Crowd Behaviour to Aid Real-Time Rendering of a Cultural Heritage Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In current city visualisations crowds are being included to increase realism in the scene. With the self-steering nature of crowds it is traditionally difficult to control the number of humans that could be in view at any one time. While rendering speedups have been successfully applied for many years, this paper takes another approach with the aim to keep a steady frame rate. We attempt to influence the crowd dynamics to maintain the frame rate, without this becoming apparent to the user. We show how this work can be applied to a virtual reality tour of a medieval town.

Towards Interactive Real-Time Crowd Behavior Simulation
While virtual crowds are becoming common in non-real-time applications, the real-time domain is still relatively unexplored. In this paper we discuss the challenges involved in creating such simulations, especially the need to efficiently manage variety. We introduce the concept of levels of variety. Then we present our work on crowd behaviour simulation aimed at interactive real-time applicati...
متن کاملReal-time realistic rendering and subtle body movements for cultural heritage virtual actors
This paper proposes two simple and robust algorithmic solutions for two frequently encountered problems in inhabited virtual heritage worlds: a) the 'still-frozen' behavior of virtual actors once their predefined-scripted animation is executed and b) their real-time rendering which is mostly often based on non physically-principled local illumination models. Our described framework thus provide...

متن کاملA Pipeline for the Digitization and the Realistic Rendering of Paintings
Digitization and visualization are both of great importance for Cultural Heritage, for instance for the design of virtual galleries. Despite a lot of research, enabling a real-time walkthrough around complex digital copies still remains difficult and challenging in the general case due to the complexity of the measurement and to the amount of data that has to be dealt with. In this paper, we in...
