We propose a novel crowd counting model that maps a given crowd scene to its density. Crowd analysis is compounded by myriad of factors like inter-occlusion between people due to extreme crowding, high similarity of appearance between…

The task of crowd counting is to automatically estimate the pedestrian number in crowd images. To cope with the scale and perspective changes that commonly exist in crowd images, state-of-the-art approaches employ multi-column CNN…

We develop a Synthetic Fusion Pyramid Network (SPF-Net) with a scale-aware loss function design for accurate crowd counting. Existing crowd-counting methods assume that the training annotation points were accurate and thus ignore the fact…

Crowd counting is the task of estimating people numbers in crowd images. Modern crowd counting methods employ deep neural networks to estimate crowd counts via crowd density regressions. A major challenge of this task lies in the…

Crowd counting has been widely studied by computer vision community in recent years. Due to the large scale variation, it remains to be a challenging task. Previous methods adopt either multi-column CNN or single-column CNN with multiple…

This paper proposes a novel approach for crowd counting in low to high density scenarios in static images. Current approaches cannot handle huge crowd diversity well and thus perform poorly in extreme cases, where the crowd density in…

With the development of deep neural networks, the performance of crowd counting and pixel-wise density estimation are continually being refreshed. Despite this, there are still two challenging problems in this field: 1) current supervised…

Crowd localization aims to predict the spatial position of humans in a crowd scenario. We observe that the performance of existing methods is challenged from two aspects: (i) ranking inconsistency between test and training phases; and (ii)…

Automatic crowd counting using density estimation has gained significant attention in computer vision research. As a result, a large number of crowd counting and density estimation models using convolution neural networks (CNN) have been…

To learn a reliable people counter from crowd images, head center annotations are normally required. Annotating head centers is however a laborious and tedious process in dense crowds. In this paper, we present an active learning framework…

Accurate crowd detection (CD) is critical for public safety and historical pattern analysis, yet existing methods relying on ground and aerial imagery suffer from limited spatio-temporal coverage. The development of very-fine-resolution…

In the field of crowd counting, the current mainstream CNN-based regression methods simply extract the density information of pedestrians without finding the position of each person. This makes the output of the network often found to…
