Abstract

Since the Boids model was proposed by Reynolds(1987), grouping behavior of animals and agents have been extensively studied and applied. Recent improvement in movie analysis enabled the discovery of scale-free correlation and phase transition in real flocks. We execute the comparison of two kinds of distances that define the behavior of the individuals in groups.
