Abstract
A system and method for recognizing recurrent crowd mobility patterns in a defined geographical area are presented. A crowded area may be determined for a selected geographical region at predefined time intervals based on spatial distribution of a plurality of users collected from a social media network. A crowd footprint may be generated according to the crowded areas determined at the predefined time intervals. Recurrent crowd mobility patterns may be detected according to the crowd footprint.
