The most important thing is that agents should execute the human like behaviors in real life scenarios. This situation becomes very complex with dense crowds. Our proposed Realistic Behavior Agent Simulation (RBAS) model simulates the agents from the knowledge of empirical findings of crowd physical behaviors and crowd psychology. This paper presents a novel technique to design the agents to with following modules 1) Path planning behavior for collision avoidance 2) Situation awareness during herding behavior and turbulent flow in high density crowds. 3) Personal Reaction bubble (PRB) based response and perceptions. The evaluation with real life situations is performed to validate the RBAS model. The RBAS model allows the agents to use cognitive understandings to plan ahead their path using the visual perception information. This model encapsulates the emer...

The purpose of this paper is to present a novel idea to detect the emotions of the crowd. Emotions are defined as evolving quantities arising from the reaction to contextual situations in a set of dynamic pattern of events. These events depend on internal and external interaction states in an already mapped space. The emotions of multiple people constituting a crowd in any surveillance environment are estimated by their social and collective behaviors using sensor signals e.g., a camera, which captures and tracks their motion. The feature space is constructed based on local features to model the contextual situations and the different interactions corresponding to different emergent behaviors are modeled using bio-inspired dynamic model. The changes in emotions correspond to behavioral changes which are produced to regulate behaviors under different encountered situations. Proposed algorithm invo...

A bio-inspired model for representation of emotional patters in crowd has been demonstrated. Emotions have been defined as evolving patterns as a part of dynamic pattern of events. The model has been developed to detect emotions of a crowd based on knowledge from learned context, psychology and experience of people in crowd management. The emotions of multiple people making a crowd in any surveillance environment are estimated by the sensors signals such a camera and are being tracked and their behavior is modeled using bio-inspired dynamic model. The behavior changes correspond to changes in emotions. Proposed algorithm involves the probabilistic signal processing modelling techniques for analysis of different types of behavior, interaction detection and estimation of emotions. The model has been evaluated using the simulated behavioral mod...
