Image acquisition mode of the CMOS sensor is active, charge photosensitive diode of the output by direct amplification transistor. Moving object scale change and deformation; moving target in the tracking process or rotary motion, change and camera distance and perspective, will cause the target image scale change and deformation. In this paper, with a pedestrian movement target specific, stati...

Pedestrian data collection is critical for the planning and design of pedestrian facilities. Most pedestrian data collection efforts involve field observations or observer-based video analysis. These manual observations are time consuming, limited in coverage, resource intensive and error prone. Automated video analysis which involves the use of computer vision techniques can overcome many of t...

Pedestrian mobility models are becoming essential in several technologies and techniques. Applications of these models could be found in the areas of infrastructure design, evacuation planning, architecture, robot-human interaction, pervasive computing or navigation and localization. Within the scope of this paper, the purpose of such models is to realistically represent the stochastic nature o...

Pedestrian behavioral modeling is a topic that is receiving more and more attention in different areas of application such as panic analysis, building evacuation and surveillance systems. We propose a model based on discrete choice theory for pedestrian dynamic behavior. Our model is based on a local discretization of the space around each pedestrian, as opposed to other models which are contin...

Some simulation environments may wish to evaluate effects on flow and movement, such as in a pedestrian simulation. Analysis of the flow is particularly useful when the map in which the flow occurs is modeled as a node-edge graph. I create a simple pedestrian simulation in which pedestrian movement occurs in a node-edge graph and the pedestrians direct themselves towards an “escape” node as the...

This paper proposes a spatial activity-based modeling approach and applies it to pedestrian crowd behavior simulations. Compared to conventional pedestrian crowd models where pedestrians make movement decisions in a time-based manner, the spatial activity-based pedestrian crowd model allows a pedestrian to make decisions only when needed, that is, when there is significant change in the pedestr...

In this paper we present a list of factors influencing the pedestrian behavior in different situations and conditions. In crowd simulation input we must consider at least two simulation conditions. The first is the normal condition and the second is the emergency condition or panic situation. In panic situations most parameters will be changed and the time factor becomes very important. Both em...

This chapter is an empirical study and statistical analysis of pedestrian movement in London's railway terminus areas. The main question is how the terminus structures as well as their local urban grid structures differently influence pedestrian movement around the station buildings. Its main objective is to examine the effect of urban spatial configuration on movement (the natural movement) in...

With a growing trend in usage of mobile navigation devices, there is also a need for an intelligent pedestrian navigation system. As an example, one might think of a visit to a large commercial center or a theme park, where the visitor must be efficiently guided to accomplish his tasks. In order to efficiently schedule a visit in such a scenario, the system not only needs to simulate and determ...
