• Abstract summary: Multidomain crowd counting aims to learn a general model for multiple diverse datasets. Deep networks prefer modeling distributions of the dominant domains instead of all domains, which is known as domain bias. We propose a Modulating Domain-specific Knowledge Network (MDKNet) to handle the domain bias issue in multidomain crowd counting.

• Abstract: Multidomain crowd counting aims to learn a general model for multiple diverse datasets. However, deep networks prefer modeling distributions of the dominant domains instead of all domains, which is known as domain bias. In this study, we propose a simple-yet-effective Modulating Domain-specific Knowledge Network (MDKNet) to handle the domain bias issue in multidomain crowd counting. MDKNet is achieved by employing the idea of `modulating', enabling deep network balancing and modeling different distributions of diverse datasets with little bias. Specifically, we propose an Instance-specific Batch Normalization (IsBN) module, which serves as a base modulator to refine the information flow to be adaptive to domain distributions. To precisely modulating the domain-specific information, the Domain-guided Virtual Classifier (DVC) is then introduced to learn a domain-separable latent space. This space is employed as an input guidance for the IsBN modulator, such that the mixture distributions of multiple datasets can be well treated. Extensive experiments performed on popular benchmarks, including Shanghai-tech A/B, QNRF and NWPU, validate the superiority of MDKNet in tackling multidomain crowd counting and the effectiveness for multidomain learning.

  Domain shift across crowd data severely hinders crowd counting models to generalize to unseen scenarios. We introduce a dynamic sub-domain division scheme which divides the source domain into multiple sub-domains. In order to disentangle domain-invariant information from domain-specific information in image features, we design the domain-invariant and -specific crowd memory modules.

  Video moment retrieval (VMR) aims to localize the target moment from an untrimmed video according to a given language query. In this paper, we focus on a novel task: cross-domain VMR, where fully-annotated datasets are available in one domain but the domain of interest only contains unannotated datasets. We propose a novel Multi-Modal Cross-Domain Alignment network to transfer the annotation knowledge from the source domain to the target domain.

  In crowd counting, due to the problem of laborious labelling, it is perceived intractability of collecting a new large-scale dataset. We resort to the multi-domain joint learning and propose a simple but effective Domain-specific Knowledge Propagating Network (DKPNet) It is mainly achieved by proposing the novel Variational Attention(VA) technique for explicitly modeling the attention distributions for different domains.

Recent multi-source domain adaptation (MDA) methods do not consider the pixel-level alignment between sources and target. We propose a novel MDA framework to address these challenges.
