In combination with the rapid technical improvements of computers, building large virtual scenes has become a popular field in computer graphics for education, films or games. Often, virtual humans populate scenes such as real reconstructed city, disappeared building or virtual town, and they are expected to provide a real life feeling. The specific aim of this thesis is to perform action planning in order to populate these scenes with virtual humans. To achieve this goal, we use a database dedicated to urb

In combination with the rapid technical improvements of computers, building large virtual scenes has become a popular field in computer graphics. Often, within a real reconstructed city, a building that has disappeared, or a virtual town, virtual humans populating these scenes are expected to provide a feeling of real life. Our specific aim is to populate these scenes with virtual humans in order to offer assistance in decision making concerning urban infrastructures. In this view, we have to integrate the

Presents a new architecture for simulating virtual humans in complex urban environments. The approach is based on the integration of six modules. Four key modules are used in order to manage environmental data, simulate human crowds, control interactions between virtual humans and objects, and generate tasks based on a rule-based behavioral model. The communication between these modules is made through a client/server system. Finally, all low-level virtual human actions are delegated to a single motion and

We outline the creation of an Informed Environment, dedicated to urban life simulation. We propose methods and tools for creating and providing the information necessary for animating virtual humans in a city using an Informed Environment. The Informed Environment is based on a hierarchical decomposition of an urban scene into Environment Entities providing geometrical information as well as semantic notions, thus allowing a more realistic simulation of human behaviour. In this manner, virtual humans can in

In order to display huge scenes with virtual human inhabitants evolving inside a virtual city, we propose a methodology to create and manage different levels of detail for a well-segmented scene without "re-meshing" the scene during simulation. A database dedicated to urban life simulation providing data for planning human actions and behaviour is completed in such a way to furnish also information about the most adapted displayed representation. In this paper we propose a methodology for scene modelling. T

Nathalie Farenc témoigne du faible nombre de femmes actives dans les sciences informatiques à travers sa longue carrière de cheffe de projet informatique à l’UNIL. Elle coordonne un projet vaudois qui introduira la science informatique au gymnase dès la rentrée 2022

L’année scolaire 2021-2022 a constitué un tournant décisif avec l’entrée de tous les cycles dans le projet EduNum. L’organisation, la logistique, la conception des formations con- tinues, des ressources pédagogiques et leur monitoring ont représenté un déf ...
