Realistic Human Walking Paths
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pedestrian navigation is a complex function of human dynamics, a desired destination, and the presence of obstacles. People cannot stop and start instantaneously and their turning abilities are influenced by kinematic and dynamical constraints. A realistic model of human walking paths is an important development for entertainment applications and many classes of simulations. We present a novel behavioral model of path planning that extends previous models through its significant use of pedestrian performance statistics that were obtained during a suite of experiments. We develop an original interpretation of quantitative metrics for measuring a model’s accuracy, and use it to compare our path planning approach to a popular contemporary method. Results indicate that this new path planning model better fits natural human behavior than previous models.

Walking Paths to and from a Goal Differ: On the Role of Bearing Angle in the Formation of Human Locomotion Paths
The path that humans take while walking to a goal is the result of a cognitive process modulated by the perception of the environment and physiological constraints. The path shape and timing implicitly embeds aspects of the architecture behind this process. Here, locomotion paths were investigated during a simple task of walking to and from a goal, by looking at the evolution of the position of...
متن کاملPhonotactic walking paths of field crickets in closed-loop conditions and their simulation using a stochastic model.
Field cricket females localize one of many singing males in the field in closed-loop multi-source conditions. To understand this behaviour, field cricket phonotaxis was investigated in a closed-loop walking phonotaxis paradigm, in response to two simultaneously active speakers playing aphasic calling songs. Female phonotactic paths were oriented towards the louder sound sources, but showed grea...
متن کاملEvidence for a Selectively Regulated Prioritization Shift Depending on Walking Situations in Older Adults
Background: Older adults have increased risks of balance issues and falls when walking and performing turns in daily situations. Changes of prioritization during different walking situations associated with dual tasking may contribute to these deficits. The objective of this study was therefore to investigate whether older adults demonstrate changes of prioritization during different walking pa...

BACKGROUND How to promote physical activity is an important public health problem that is attracting increasing attention. Although the application of environmental approaches is believed to promote resident walking, there remains insufficient evidence of the effectiveness of these interventions. METHODS This study employed direct observation and questionnaires. Observations were performed on...
متن کاملUsing Medial Skeleton for Path Finding in Dynamic Stealth Games
Desirable difficulty in a game level is achieved by varying geometry of arena or placement of guards/obstacles inside it. Designing such levels requires a rigorous Design-Test cycle, for which the testing can be automated using Pathfinding algorithms. In this thesis, we propose an algorithm for roadmap generation for a player using a modified Medial skeleton of a 3D representation (2D spatial &...
