A Framework for Video-Driven Crowd Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a framework for video-driven crowd synthesis. Motion vectors extracted from input crowd video are processed to compute global motion paths. These paths encode the dominant motions observed in the input video. These paths are then fed into a behavior-based crowd simulation framework, which is responsible for synthesizing crowd animations that respect the motion patterns observed in the video. Our system synthesizes 3D virtual crowds by animating virtual humans along the trajectories returned by the crowd simulation framework. We also propose a new metric for comparing the “visual similarity” between the synthesized crowd and exemplar crowd. We demonstrate the proposed approach on crowd videos collected under different settings. Keywords-crowd analysis; crowd sysnthesis; motion analysis

A Data-driven Method for Crowd Simulation using a Holonification Model
In this paper, we present a data-driven method for crowd simulation with holonification model. With this extra module, the accuracy of simulation will increase and it generates more realistic behaviors of agents. First, we show how to use the concept of holon in crowd simulation and how effective it is. For this reason, we use simple rules for holonification. Using real-world data, we model the...
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 ...
متن کاملA Hyper-Heuristic Framework for Agent-Based Crowd Modeling and Simulation: (Extended Abstract)
This paper proposes a hyper-heuristic crowd modeling framework to generate realistic crowd dynamics that can match video data. In the proposed framework, motions of agents are driven by a high-level heuristic (HH) which intelligently selects way-points for agents based on the current situations. Three low-level heuristics are defined and used as building blocks of the HH. Based on the newly def...
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...
متن کامل3D Reconstruction of Dynamic Textures in Crowd Sourced Data
We propose a framework to automatically build 3D models for scenes containing structures not amenable for photo-consistency based reconstruction due to having dynamic appearance. We analyze the dynamic appearance elements of a given scene by leveraging the imagery contained in Internet image photo-collections and online video sharing websites. Our approach combines large scale crowd sourced SfM...
