Project Scope:
The scope of this project is focused on development of context-based simulation scenarios of group activities involving multiple functional entities (e.g., humanoids, vehicles, objects) operating in the dynamic environment. Through simulation, behavioral attributes of characters are initially cast and synchronized to demonstrate how typical group activities are occurring in the environment. The software application in this project is called IRIS software, developed at Tennessee State University. IRIS which stands for Intelligent Robotics Interface System offers many utilities for rapid construction and animation of behavior-based activities in the virtual world. Moreover, IRIS provides variety of options for multi-modality sensor data processing and fusion. Demonstrated in below figures is a modeled camp at a harbor site when many order of group activities are taking place.
