| Crowd control is an autonomously detecting movement of an individual and visualizing the density of a crowd system. | ||
| Audience: | This project is designed for people who as a group experience in public space.For instance, a crowd in galleries, stadiums, zoos, aquariums, museums, and banks are my aimed audience. | |
| Methodology: | A crowd as users will be informed about the density of a crowd itself, and guided to move themselves to the proper directions as an optimized speed. The whole system mainly consists of three steps. The first step is to detect the density of a crowd. I use a video camera to catch pictures of a crowd from the top of the view, and scan the picture pixel by pixel to detect the density by individual\'s movement. The second step is to crunch numbers what I get from the video camera and to transfer these numbers to another format of information which can be analyzed by people in database. The last step is to present the analyzed information back to uses by displaying the visual elements in a 3D model. The users are not be able to realized that they are being video detecting, and the only physically interface is the visual elements on the LCD screen.
