Abstract

The article presents a dynamic data-driven simulation of pedestrian movement based on the generalized Social Distances Model, where a simulation system is continuously synchronized with current flow data, gained from Microsoft Kinect depth map. Both simulation and data analysis are real-time processes. Agent appears in simulation, as soon as consecutive pedestrians leave sensors tracking zone. Due to system architecture containing feedback loop, automatic validation and parameters calibration is possible. A new method of depth map based pedestrian tracking is proposed as well as a new algorithm of pedestrian parameters extraction for short trajectories. The paper describes in detail the proposed algorithms, system architecture and an illustrative experiment.
