• Title: Plug-and-Play Rescaling Based Crowd Counting in Static Images
• Authors: Usman Sajid and Guanghui Wang
• Abstract summary: We propose a new image patch rescaling module (PRM) and three independent PRM employed crowd counting methods. The proposed frameworks use the PRM module to rescale the image regions (patches) that require special treatment, whereas the classification process helps in recognizing and discarding any cluttered crowd-like background regions which may result in overestimation.

• Abstract: Crowd counting is a challenging problem especially in the presence of huge crowd diversity across images and complex cluttered crowd-like background regions, where most previous approaches do not generalize well and consequently produce either huge crowd underestimation or overestimation. To address these challenges, we propose a new image patch rescaling module (PRM) and three independent PRM employed crowd counting methods. The proposed frameworks use the PRM module to rescale the image regions (patches) that require special treatment, whereas the classification process helps in recognizing and discarding any cluttered crowd-like background regions which may result in overestimation. Experiments on three standard benchmarks and cross-dataset evaluation show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art models in the RMSE evaluation metric with an improvement up to 10.4%, and possesses superior generalization ability to new datasets.

  We propose a simple yet effective crowd counting method by utilizing the Segment-Everything-Everywhere Model (SEEM) We show that SEEM's performance in dense crowd scenes is limited, primarily due to the omission of many persons in high-density areas. Our proposed method achieves the best unsupervised performance in crowd counting, while also being comparable to some supervised methods.

  We propose a single-stage approach for Weakly Supervised Semantic (WSSS) with image-level labels. We adaptively partition the image content into deterministic regions (e.g., confident foreground and background) and uncertain regions (e.g., object boundaries and misclassified categories) for separate processing. Building upon this, we introduce a complementary self-enhancement method that constrains the semantic consistency between these confident regions and an augmented image with the same class labels.

  We propose a novel SR method called MPF-Net that leverages multiple perceptual features of input images.

We also introduce a contrastive regularization term (CR) that improves the model's learning capability.

  We propose a new PRM based multi-resolution and multi-task crowd counting network. The proposed model consists of three deep-layered branches with each branch generating feature maps of different resolutions. The integration of these deep branches with the PRM module and the early-attended blocks proves to be more effective than the original PRM based schemes.
