Mobile Crowd Mapping

چکیده
Within this paper we investigate the possibility to have a tool that counts individuals within a static crowd photo, which is taken with a camera included in a smart phone. These individuals form different density patterns. We explore ways to map and display the density information on top of the photo on the smart phone screen. This enables the user to have a fast estimate about how many individuals are within the crowd and how is the underlying density distribution within the crowd. This paper includes a case study within a student group photo in an outside environment.

Mobile Mapping of Sporting Event Spectators Using Bluetooth Sensors: Tour of Flanders 2011
Accurate spatiotemporal information on crowds is a necessity for a better management in general and for the mitigation of potential security risks. The large numbers of individuals involved and their mobility, however, make generation of this information non-trivial. This paper proposes a novel methodology to estimate and map crowd sizes using mobile Bluetooth sensors and examines to what exten...
متن کاملCrowd Sourcing Indoor Maps with Mobile Sensors
The paper describes algorithms required to enable the crowd sourcing of indoor building maps, i.e., where GPS is not available. Nevertheless to enable crowd sourcing we use the 3-axis accelerometers and the 3-axis magnetometers available in many smart phones and the piezometer in a Nike running shoe. Volunteers carry the sensors while walking around in buildings, and use some application on the...
متن کاملOn Crowd Sensing Back-end
This paper is devoted to the crowd sensing applications. Crowd sensing (mobile crowd sensing in our case) is a new sensing paradigm based on the power of the crowd with the sensing capabilities of mobile devices, such as smartphones or wearable devices. This power is based on the smartphones, usually equipped with multiple sensors. So, it enables to collect local information from the individual...
متن کاملRecognition of Crowd Behavior from Mobile Sensors with Pattern Analysis and Graph Clustering Methods
Mobile on-body sensing has distinct advantages for the analysis and understanding of crowd dynamics: sensing is not geographically restricted to a specific instrumented area, mobile phones offer on-body sensing and they are already deployed on a large scale, and the rich sets of sensors they contain allows one to characterize the behavior of users through pattern recognition techniques. In this...
متن کاملContext aware ad hoc network for mitigation of crowd disasters
Our research works focuses on the design and implementation of a novel ubiquitous multi context-aware mobile phone sensing network for mitigation of crowd disasters using machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. A mobile sensor network system integrated with wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) was designed for effective prediction of a stampede during crowd disasters. This proposed sens...
