Paper on CNN crowd counting approaches for IBB master's course at FRI, Ljubljana

Crowd counting with machine learning techniques

This is the official repository of the seminar paper Crowd counting with machine learning techniques, which is part of the IBB master's course at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. You can read the report here.

In the paper we analyzed 5 CNN models for crowd counting and combined two to make our improvement. We provide the code of the improved model in a separate repository and we link the official implementations and papers of other models.

This repository contains the paper, links to the used models, and link to the datasets.

Used models

In our paper we analyze:

Our improvement of the CSRNet:

We provide the pretrained weights for the mentioned models on Google drive, so you can test and evaluate them yourself. Note that you might have to fix some data paths in the official implementations.

Datasets

In this paper we evaluate the models on ShanghaiTech part A and part B datasets (download), as well as UCF-QNRF dataset (download).

Demo

We also provide an online interactive demo on Heroku. Please bear in mind that the demo uses CPU for evaluation, and due to the Heroku limitations can't process large images.
