Pedestrian dynamics modeling and social force analysis based on object detection by Fangyan Yang, Rong Liu, Daoyu Zhu

“…By incorporating techniques such as Riemannian optimization and multi-scale parameterization, IGVIF effectively captures the hierarchical and multi-modal structures inherent in pedestrian movement patterns. AEETS dynamically balances global exploration with local refinement using entropy-based metrics and feedback-driven adjustments, allowing the system to adaptively optimize complex loss landscapes with greater precision in pedestrian scenarios.ResultsTogether, these components create a robust and adaptive framework that overcomes traditional limitations by efficiently handling large-scale pedestrian variability and densely populated environments. …”
