• Title: Cross-View Cross-Scene Multi-View Crowd Counting
• Authors: Qi Zhang, Wei Lin, Antoni B. Chan
• Abstract summary: Multi-view crowd counting has been previously proposed to utilize multi-cameras to extend the field-of-view of a single camera. We propose a cross-view cross-scene (CVCS) multi-view crowd counting paradigm, where the training and testing occur on different scenes with arbitrary camera layouts.

• Abstract: Multi-view crowd counting has been previously proposed to utilize multi-cameras to extend the field-of-view of a single camera, capturing more people in the scene, and improve counting performance for occluded people or those in low resolution. However, the current multi-view paradigm trains and tests on the same single scene and camera-views, which limits its practical application. In this paper, we propose a cross-view cross-scene (CVCS) multi-view crowd counting paradigm, where the training and testing occur on different scenes with arbitrary camera layouts. To dynamically handle the challenge of optimal view fusion under scene and camera layout change and non-correspondence noise due to camera calibration errors or erroneous features, we propose a CVCS model that attentively selects and fuses multiple views together using camera layout geometry, and a noise view regularization method to train the model to handle non-correspondence errors. We also generate a large synthetic multi-camera crowd counting dataset with a large number of scenes and camera views to capture many possible variations, which avoids the difficulty of collecting and annotating such a large real dataset. We then test our trained CVCS model on real multi-view counting datasets, by using unsupervised domain transfer. The proposed CVCS model trained on synthetic data outperforms the same model trained only on real data, and achieves promising performance compared to fully supervised methods that train and test on the same single scene.

  We build a similarity matrix that incorporates both the spatial diversity of the cameras and the semantic variation of the images.

  We address the problem of estimating the 3D pose of a network of cameras for large-environment wide-baseline scenarios. Treating people in the scene as "keypoints" and associating them across different camera views can be an alternative method for obtaining correspondences. Our method first employs a re-ID method to associate human bounding boxes across cameras, then converts bounding box correspondences to point correspondences.
