• Abstract summary: Video datasets that capture violent and non-violent human activity from aerial point-of-view are scarce. We propose a novel, baseline simulator which is capable of generating synthetic images of crowds engaging in various activities that can be categorized as violent or non-violent. Our simulator is capable of generating large, randomized urban environments and is able to maintain an average of 25 frames per second on a mid-range computer.

• Abstract: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has gained significant traction in the recent years, particularly the context of surveillance. However, video datasets that capture violent and non-violent human activity from aerial point-of-view is scarce. To address this issue, we propose a novel, baseline simulator which is capable of generating sequences of photo-realistic synthetic images of crowds engaging in various activities that can be categorized as violent or non-violent. The crowd groups are annotated with bounding boxes that are automatically computed using semantic segmentation. Our simulator is capable of generating large, randomized urban environments and is able to maintain an average of 25 frames per second on a mid-range computer with 150 concurrent crowd agents interacting with each other. We also show that when synthetic data from the proposed simulator is augmented with real world data, binary video classification accuracy is improved by 5% on average across two different models.

  We investigate the feasibility of deploying reinforcement learning (RL) policies for constrained crowd navigation using a low-fidelity simulator. We introduce a representation of the dynamic environment, separating human and obstacle representations. This representation enables RL policies trained in a low-fidelity simulator to deploy in real world with a reduced sim2real gap.

  We study how AV perception models are affected by changes in camera viewpoint. Small changes to pitch, yaw, depth, or height of the camera at inference time lead to large drops in performance. We introduce a technique for novel view synthesis and use it to transform collected data to the viewpoint of target rigs.

We validate our method by capturing multi-view In-the-Wild data and controlled captures in a large-scale fog chamber.
