LCrowdV: Generating Labeled Videos for Simulation-based Crowd Behavior Learning
We present a novel procedural framework to generate an arbitrary number of
labeled crowd videos (LCrowdV). The resulting crowd video datasets are used to
design accurate algorithms or training models for crowded scene understanding.
Our overall approach is composed of two components: a procedural simulation
framework for generating crowd movements and behaviors, and a procedural
rendering framework to generate different videos or images. Each video or image
is automatically labeled based on the environment, number of pedestrians,
density, behavior, flow, lighting conditions, viewpoint, noise, etc.
Furthermore, we can increase the realism by combining synthetically-generated
behaviors with real-world background videos. We demonstrate the benefits of
LCrowdV over prior lableled crowd datasets by improving the accuracy of
pedestrian detection and crowd behavior classification algorithms. LCrowdV
would be released on the WWW

Parameter Estimation of Social Forces in Crowd Dynamics Models via a Probabilistic Method
Focusing on a specific crowd dynamics situation, including real life
experiments and measurements, our paper targets a twofold aim: (1) we present a
Bayesian probabilistic method to estimate the value and the uncertainty (in the
form of a probability density function) of parameters in crowd dynamic models
from the experimental data; and (2) we introduce a fitness measure for the
models to classify a couple of model structures (forces) according to their
fitness to the experimental data, preparing the stage for a more general
model-selection and validation strategy inspired by probabilistic data
analysis. Finally, we review the essential aspects of our experimental setup
and measurement technique.Comment: 20 pages, 9 figure
Human Motion Trajectory Prediction: A Survey
With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments,
the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human
behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future
positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key
tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance
systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We
review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different
communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on
the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We
provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We
discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further
research.Comment: Submitted to the International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR),

Pedestrian Flow Simulation Validation and Verification Techniques
For the verification and validation of microscopic simulation models of
pedestrian flow, we have performed experiments for different kind of facilities
and sites where most conflicts and congestion happens e.g. corridors, narrow
passages, and crosswalks. The validity of the model should compare the
experimental conditions and simulation results with video recording carried out
in the same condition like in real life e.g. pedestrian flux and density
distributions. The strategy in this technique is to achieve a certain amount of
accuracy required in the simulation model. This method is good at detecting the
critical points in the pedestrians walking areas. For the calibration of
suitable models we use the results obtained from analyzing the video recordings
in Hajj 2009 and these results can be used to check the design sections of
pedestrian facilities and exits. As practical examples, we present the
simulation of pilgrim streams on the Jamarat bridge.
The objectives of this study are twofold: first, to show through verification
and validation that simulation tools can be used to reproduce realistic
scenarios, and second, gather data for accurate predictions for designers and
decision makers.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure
