Abstract: Abstract Major pedestrian crowd movements have proven to be volatile in the past. The contribution of this paper is to assess a new recording and a new analysis technique to improve the currently limited theoretical knowledge on the movement of individual pedestrians within a crowd. Using a camera attached to a UAV, footage of pedestrian crowd movements has been recorded at the major music festival Lowlands in the Netherlands. This paper describes a detection and tracking tool, resulting in trajectory information for all pedestrians visible within the footage. Footage recorded at Lowlands is used to assess the new techniques’ contribution, resulting in trajectory analyses of individual pedestrian movements in a crowd.
