Abstract
Due to the serious situation of the public security in China, it has important practical meaning to make contingency plans for emergencies in advance. During the emergency evacuation, crowd will be in a non-rational state. The characteristics of the crowd aggregation are different from the usual crowd movements and easily lead to emotional contagion. However, the research on emotional contagion in crowd animation is still rare in the existing studies. From the perspective of psychology, this paper discusses the related concepts, parameters, and methods of measurement for emotional contagion, and summarizes the work of using computer vision technology in obtaining the crowd parameters. Based on these, a model of emotional contagion has been proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed model can well represent the crowd evacuation behavior and can be a new method for crowd emergency management.
