contents This paper addresses the estimation of a dynamic interaction network, a network of influence among individuals, under projected visual stimuli to quantify the influences of inter-individual interactions and external stimuli on collective behavior. Building upon our previously proposed network estimation model, which assumes a Boids-type model and employs a sparse regression framework to infer inter-individual influence networks from trajectory data, we extend the formulation by introducing a stimulus term. This enables the model to capture how individuals react to and propagate externally projected visual stimuli within the group. The resulting framework allows simultaneous estimation of inter-individual and stimulus-related interaction strengths. We also introduce entropy-based indices to capture the possible biases of individuals' influence. Our experiments with fish schools under projector-based visual stimuli demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed indices in quantifying schooling behavior and identifying influential individuals within the group, serving as the basis for real-time, interpretable metrics of collective dynamics.
