US Patent 11126862 Dense crowd counting method and apparatus

The present disclosure provides a dense crowd counting method and an apparatus, including: acquiring an image to be detected, where the image to be detected includes images of people; feeding the image to be detected into a convolutional neural network model to obtain a crowd density map of the image to be detected; and determining the number of the images of people in the image to be detected according to the crowd density map. Feature information of an image to be detected may be fully extracted through the above mentioned process, thereby realizing a better performance of crowd counting and density estimation, providing great convenience for subsequent security monitoring, crowd control and other applications.
