3D Motion in Crowds

About

For the understanding of the dynamics inside crowds, reliable empirical data are needed, which could increase safety and comfort for pedestrians and the design of models reflecting the real dynamics. To analyze effects like clogging, overtaking or the threading into a bottleneck the orientation of body parts like shoulder, pelvis, arms and feet are of high interest.

In dense crowds a well-calibrated camera system can extract absolute head positions with high accuracy. The inclusion of inertial sensors or even self-contained full-body motion capturing (mocap) systems allows the relative tracking of body parts or even capturing the locomotion of the whole body.
