To evaluate or predict human behavior, extraction of characteristic patterns from actual crowd scenes and crowd simulation in different situations based on general human behavior model are needed. We use changes in a spatial feature formed by individual movement called a “dominant region”, a type of dynamic personal space. In the paper, a basic concept and calculation of the dominant region and its applications are presented. Experiments show that the proposed feature is useful in evaluating and simulating human behavior.
