• Abstract: In recent years, with the progress of deep learning technologies, crowd counting has been rapidly developed. In this work, we propose a simple yet effective crowd counting framework that is able to achieve the state-of-the-art performance on various crowded scenes. In particular, we first introduce a perspective-aware density map generation method that is able to produce ground-truth density maps from point annotations to train crowd counting model to accomplish superior performance than prior density map generation techniques. Besides, leveraging our density map generation method, we propose an iterative distillation algorithm to progressively enhance our model with identical network structures, without significantly sacrificing the dimension of the output density maps. In experiments, we demonstrate that, with our simple convolutional neural network architecture strengthened by our proposed training algorithm, our model is able to outperform or be comparable with the state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, we also evaluate our density map generation approach and distillation algorithm in ablation studies.

  Crowd counting is a fundamental problem in crowd analysis which is typically accomplished by estimating a crowd density map and summing over the density values. We present $CrowdDiff$ that generates the crowd density map as a reverse diffusion process. In addition, owing to the nature of the diffusion model, we introduce producing multiple density maps to improve the counting performance.

  We propose a novel perspective-aware approach called PANet to address the perspective problem. Based on the observation that the size of the objects varies greatly in one image due to the perspective effect, we propose the dynamic receptive fields (DRF) framework. The framework is able to adjust the receptive field by the dilated convolution parameters according to the input image, which helps the model to extract more discriminative features for each local region.
