A unified crowd simulation model revealing relationships among "Physiology-Psychology-Physics" factors
share
We present a unified model for crowd simulation, CubeP, which comprehensively considers physiological, psychological, and physical factors. Inspired by the theory of "the devoted actor," the movements of each individual in our model are determined by modeling the physical influence of physical strength consumption and the emotion of panic. In particular, human physical strength consumption is computed using a physics-based numerical method. Inspired by the James-Lange theory, panic emotion is estimated by means of an enhanced emotional contagion model that leverages the inherent relation between physical strength consumption and panic emotion. To the best of our knowledge, our model is the first method that integrates physiological, psychological, and physical factors together and exploits the relationship between these factors. We highlight the performance on different scenarios and compare the resulting behavior with real-world video sequences. Our approach can reliably predict the changes in physical strength consumption and panic emotion of individuals in an emergency situation.
