Computer Vision: Modelling Groups and Forming Crowds
نویسنده
چکیده
I have long been fascinated by the emergent properties of groups, whether groups of cells, groups of objects, or groups of people. The gestalt behaviour of groups somehow has characteristic properties that are far greater than suggested by the mere sum of their parts. My research focuses on using fundamental ideas from theoretical computational science to tease out insight into groups by studying crowds in computer vision as well as in online communities. In my research, I look to ultimately answer questions like:

From Individual Characters to Large Crowds: Augmenting the Believability of Open-World Games through Exploring Social Emotion in Pedestrian Groups
Crowds of non-player characters improve the game-play experiences of open-world video-games. Grouping is a common phenomenon of crowds and plays an important role in crowd behaviour. Recent crowd simulation research focuses on group modelling in pedestrian crowds and game-designers have argued that the design of non-player characters should capture and exploit the relationship between character...
متن کاملAttack on the Clones: Managing Player Perceptions of Visual Variety and Believability in Video Game Crowds
Crowds of non-‐player characters are increasingly common in contemporary video games. It is often the case that individual models are re-‐used, lowering visual variety in the crowd and potentially affecting realism and believability. This paper explores a number of approaches to increase visual diversity in large game crowds, and discusses a procedural solution for generating diverse non-‐pl...

متن کامل3D Modelling of Under Ground Burried Objects Based on Ground Penetration Radar
There is a growing demand for mapping and 3D modelling of buried objects such as pipelines, agricultural hetitage, landmines and other buried objects. Usually, large scale and high resolution maps from these objects are needed. Manually map generation and modeling of these objects are cost and time consuming and is dependent on lots of resources. Therefore, automating the subsurface mapping and...
متن کاملModelling Emotional Behaviour in Virtual Crowds through Expressive Body Movements and Emotion Contagion
Virtual crowds are gaining more relevance in computer graphics. Research in this area has been of great interest for both industrial and scientific activities related with entertainment and virtual simulation, and nowadays it is possible to generate virtual crowds with believable and complex behaviour. However, expression of emotion and social behaviour for multiple characters is a research are...
