Awesome Crowd Datasets

In this repository, I only choose those crowd counting datasets used by top conferences (CVPR, ICCV and ECCV) papers, ordering by the release year of the datasets.

If you have any problems, suggestions or improvements, please submit the issue or PR.

Overview

In these papers published on top conferences(CVPR, ECCV) of 2020, some crowd counting benchmarks(datasets) are cited. In the following table, total reference count and release year of these datasets are showed.

UCSD UCF-CC-50 WorldExpo10 TRANCOS ShangHai Tech UCF-QNRF
Ref Count 2020 2 7 7 2 10 7
Release Year 2008 2013 2015 2015 2016 2018

Note, only record the crowd datasets whose refered count is no less than 2 times.

Summary of statistics and comparason of the 4 most frequently used crowd datasets is presented in the following table.

Dataset Number of Images Number of Annotations Average Count Maximum Count Average Resolution Average Density
UCF-CC-50 50 63,974 1279 4633 2101 x 2888 2.02 x 10^-4
WorldExpo10 3980 225,216 56 334 576 x 720 1.36 x 10^-4
ShanghaiTech_PartA 482 241,677 501 3139 589 x 868 9.33 x 10^-4
UCF-QNRF 1535 1,251,642 815 12865 2013 x 2902 1.12 x 10^-4

Note, this table is abstracted from UCF-QNRF dataset website
