The paper introduces a cluster-based method for predicting dense crowd trajectories, grouping individuals with similar attributes over time to accelerate processing. By replacing individual pedestrian inputs with cluster centroids, the approach reduces computational cost and memory usage while preserving accuracy. Extensive evaluations on challenging dense crowd scenes confirm these benefits compared to state‑of‑the‑art methods.

The paper introduces MovingDroneCrowd++, a large-scale video dataset for dense crowd counting and tracking from moving drones, featuring varied flight altitudes, camera angles, and lighting. It presents two new methods: GD3A for Video Individual Counting and GIA-Track for Multi-Object Tracking, both leveraging group-wise density assignment and identity association to handle aerial challenges. Experiments demonstrate significant improvements, reducing counting error by 47.4% and boosting tracking accuracy by 64.6%.
The paper introduces Ctrl-CWM, a multi‑agent controllable crowd world model that merges crowd generation with run‑time control. It uses an encoder to learn human motion dynamics, an actor to propose pedestrian displacements, a critic to evaluate imagined trajectories, and a planner that selects actions based on critic scores and user‑defined costs. Experiments show that Ctrl‑CWM outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in realism and collision metrics while allowing new control objectives to be added without retraining.
The paper introduces Object-Conditioned Social Diffusion (OCSD), a conditional diffusion model that unifies motion history, multi‑person interactions, and object cues for human motion forecasting in complex scenes. OCSD employs an object‑conditioning mechanism that modulates denoising at each timestep, enabling fine‑grained human‑object reasoning, and a social encoder that captures interactions among all humans. Experiments on the Humans in Kitchens (HiK) and HOI‑M3 benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance, reducing two‑second path error by 31.3% on HiK and 33.2% on HOI‑M3 compared to prior work, while producing more realistic long‑term forecasts.
TrajFusionNet+ is a transformer-based model that predicts pedestrian crossing intention by fusing sequential trajectory data, visual trajectory overlays, and graph-based scene context. It extends the earlier TrajFusionNet with three attention modules—Sequence, Visual, and Graph—to capture temporal, visual, and relational cues. The model outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods on the PIE and JAAD datasets and shows better generalization under a joint‑training, separate‑evaluation protocol.

VastMAT is a large‑scale multi‑animal tracking benchmark featuring 2,947 videos, 337 animal categories, and over 3.6 million bounding boxes with 22,883 identity trajectories. It emphasizes high‑quality, expert‑reviewed annotations and introduces Seen‑category and Unseen‑category evaluation protocols, revealing significant challenges in tracking unseen animals. The authors also propose a lightweight Center‑Distance‑Augmented Association module that boosts HOTA scores for existing MOT methods without extra training.
The paper introduces a behavior‑aware framework to build diverse crowds of large language models (LLMs) for future prediction. By analyzing reasoning traces on independent tasks, clustering models by behavioral similarity, and selecting representative medoids, the authors demonstrate that a small, well‑chosen crowd can outperform a larger, conventional voting ensemble. Experiments with 25 LLMs across multiple benchmarks show significant reductions in model calls and inference cost while improving prediction accuracy.
