Data Driven Evaluation of Crowds

چکیده
There are various techniques for simulating crowds, however, in most cases the quality of the simulation is measured by examining its “look-and-feel”. Even if the aggregate movement of the crowd looks natural from afar, the behaviors of individuals might look odd when examined more closely. In this paper we present a data-driven approach for evaluating the behaviors of individuals within a simulated crowd. Each decision of an individual agent is expressed as a state-action pair, which stores a representation of the characteristics being evaluated and the factors that influence it. Based on video footage of a real crowd, a database of state-action examples is generated. Using a similarity measure, the queries are matched with the database of examples. The degree of similarity can be interpreted as the level of “naturalness” of the behavior. Essentially, this sort of evaluation offers an objective answer to the question of how similar are the simulated behaviors compared to real ones. By changing the input video we can change the context of evaluation.

Comparison and evaluation of the performance of data-driven models for estimating suspended sediment downstream of Doroodzan Dam
Dams control most of the sediment entering the reservoir by creating static environments. However, sediment leaving the dam depends on various factors such as dam management method, inlet sediment, water height in the reservoir, the shape of the reservoir, and discharge flow. In this research, the amount of suspended sediment of Doroodzan Dam based on a statistical period of 25 years has been i...
متن کاملA Scalable Visualization System for Crowd Simulations
The visualization system of large-scale crowd simulations should scale up with both the number of visuals (views of the virtual world) and the number of agents displayed in each visual. Otherwise, we could have large scale crowd simulations where only a small percentage of the population is displayed. Several approaches have been proposed in order to efficiently render crowds of animated charac...

متن کاملA Data-Driven Framework for Visual Crowd Analysis
We present a novel approach for analyzing the quality of multi-agent crowd simulation algorithms. Our approach is data-driven, taking as input a set of user-defined metrics and reference training data, either synthetic or from video footage of real crowds. Given a simulation, we formulate the crowd analysis problem as an anomaly detection problem and exploit state-of-the-art outlier detection a...
