TL;DR
A video corpus informs the modeling process, after which the resultant animations undergo perception-based evaluation, and the aim is to improve the crowd's visual plausibility rather than the simulation's correctness.
Abstract
In a proposed methodology for modeling dynamic crowd scenarios, a video corpus informs the modeling process, after which the resultant animations undergo perception-based evaluation. The aim is to improve the crowd's visual plausibility rather than the simulation's correctness. A real-life crowd animation system demonstrates the methodology's practical application.

A pedestrian behavioural model which exploits the information produced by VUEMS, the authors' city modeller, is presented and it is shown that this model exploits the behaviour of dynamic entities such as pedestrians or car drivers.
Perceptual evaluation of position and orientation context rules for pedestrian formations

By applying rules based on the contextual information of the scene, such as the type of scene being portrayed, the presence of nearby individuals and objects and the constraints of the walking areas in the scene), this study improved the perceived realism of the crowd formations.
Controlling steering behavior for small groups of pedestrians in virtual urban environments
6 Citations2002Terry R. Hostetler, Joseph K. Kearney
This thesis investigates how individuals and groups can be modeled in order to produce plausible collective walking behavior, including moving and standing formations in virtual urban environments and proposes a framework that integrates constraints to simulate the walking behavior of individual pedestrians and small groups of pedestrians.
