Functional Crowds
نویسنده
چکیده
Most crowd simulation research either focuses on navigating characters through an environment while avoiding collisions or on simulating very large crowds. Our work focuses on creating populations that inhabit a space as opposed to passing through it. Characters exhibit behaviors that are typical for their setting. We term these populations functional crowds. A key element of this work is ensuring that the simulations are easy to create and modify. We use roles and groups to help specify behaviors, we use a parameterized representation to add the semantics of actions and objects, and we implemented four types of actions (i.e. scheduled, reactive, opportunistic, and aleatoric) to ensure rich, emergent behaviors.

متن کاملA Comparison of Small Crowd Selection Methods
The literature on the wisdom of crowds argues that in most situations, the aggregated judgments of a large crowd perform well relative to the average individual. There are, however, many real-world cases where crowds perform poorly. A small crowd literature has since developed, finding that better performing small crowds often exist within whole crowds. We compare previously proposed small crow...
متن کاملHigh Quality Shadows for Real-Time Crowds
Real-time shadowed crowds, especially under locally lit environments, pose several distinct challenges. Current solutions for crowds are either very simplistic for multiple lights or only handle a single directional light with shadows. This work focuses on bringing hundreds of local lights with high fidelity shadows for crowds into the real-time domain. Each light is given the ability to cast s...
متن کاملExperiments on Crowdsourcing Policy Assessment
Can Crowds serve as useful allies in policy design? How do non-expert Crowds perform relative to experts in the assessment of policy measures? Does the geographic location of non-expert Crowds, with relevance to the policy context, alter the performance of nonexperts Crowds in the assessment of policy measures? In this work, we investigate these questions by undertaking experiments designed to ...
متن کاملTraffic Instabilities in Self-Organized Pedestrian Crowds
In human crowds as well as in many animal societies, local interactions among individuals often give rise to self-organized collective organizations that offer functional benefits to the group. For instance, flows of pedestrians moving in opposite directions spontaneously segregate into lanes of uniform walking directions. This phenomenon is often referred to as a smart collective pattern, as i...
