Lab Meeting 22 March 2007 (Bright): Continuum Crowds

SIGGRAPH 2006

Author: Adrien Treuille, Seth Cooper and Zoran Popovi´c

Abstract:

We present a real-time crowd model based on continuum dynamics.In our model, a dynamic potential field simultaneously integratesglobal navigation with moving obstacles such as other people, efficientlysolving for the motion of large crowds without the need forexplicit collision avoidance. Simulations created with our systemrun at interactive rates, demonstrate smooth flow under a varietyof conditions, and naturally exhibit emergent phenomena that havebeen observed in real crowds.
