Abstract

People, when part of a crowd, are able to perform unusual behavior, which would not be performed by a single person (LeBon 1895). A crowd is a powerful entity and its understanding is very important, specially regarding safety issues. The understanding of crowd motion can provide enough information in order to map people features and behaviors that can influence, among other aspects, the crowd efficiency in a specific environment. In addition, find out the impact one individual has over the others can be extremely relevant in order to estimate people motion and maybe the occurrence of dangerous situations. These examples are discussed and analyzed in this book. In particular, the technologies behind the detection of motion and behavior in videos are discussed in Chap. 5.
