Abstract Robot Motion Planning (RMP) has been a thrust area of research in computing due
to its complexity, since RMP in dynamic environments for a point robot with bounded velocity …

Crowd simulation has emerged in the last decade as a widely used method of visual effects,
computer games, and urban planning, etc. The improvement of hardware performance and …

In this paper we introduce a novel method to detect and localize abnormal behaviors in
crowd videos using Social Force model. For this purpose, a grid of particles is placed over …

People spend more than 90% of their life time in buildings, which makes occupant behavior
one of the leading influences of energy consumption in buildings. Occupancy and occupant …

Crowd evacuation of a building has been studied over the last decades. In this paper, seven
methodological approaches for crowd evacuation have been identified. These approaches …

Although the widespread use of gaming for leisure purposes has been well documented, the
use of games to support cultural heritage purposes, such as historical teaching and learning …

Since the first edition of this book in 2007, there has been a fast evolution in Virtual Reality.
Palmer Luckey designed a prototype for what would become the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality …

This paper presents a crowd evacuation simulation approach that is based on navigation
knowledge and two-layer control mechanism. In this approach, using the multi-population …

We present a novel method for multiple people tracking that leverages a generalized model
for capturing interactions among individuals. At the core of our model lies a learned …

In the everyday exercise of controlling their locomotion, humans rely on their optic flow of the
perceived environment to achieve collision-free navigation. In crowds, in spite of the …
