Inherent Noise‐Aware Insect Swarm Simulation. (17th January 2014) - Wang, Xinjie
Abstract Collective behavior of winged insects is a wondrous and familiar phenomenon in the real world. In this paper, we introduce a highly efficient field‐based approach to simulate various insect swarms. Its core idea is to construct a smooth yet noise‐aware governing velocity field that can be further decomposed into two sub‐fields: (i) a divergence‐free curl noise field to model noise‐induced movements of individual insects in a swarm, and (ii) an enhanced global velocity field to control navigational paths in a complex environment along which all the insects in a swarm fly.
