We propose an entropic geometrical model of crowd behavior dynamics (with dissipative crowd kinematics), using Feynman action--amplitude formalism that operates on three synergetic levels: macro, meso and micro. The intent is to explain the…

In this paper, we present a novel method to recognize the types of crowd movement from crowd trajectories using agent-based motion models (AMMs). Our idea is to apply a number of AMMs, referred to as exemplar-AMMs, to describe the crowd…
