A Representation of Patterns of Crowd Behavior Using a Hidden Network Structure
Shinya YAMADE, Susumu Shirayama · Journal of the Visualization Society of Japan · 2007
Various patterns emerge from crowd behaviors, for instance, march, vibration, straying and a swarm of mosquitoes. It has been considered that such a pattern is caused by some interaction between individuals forming the crowd. Reproduction of the pattern have been explored in many previous works. Patterns represent a static and a dynamic state. Both have a certain kind of beauty, so that they are used for the particular motif of a picture or industrial design. In this paper, we try to reproduce the patterns using a network structure assumed to exist behind crowd behavior.
