ANTHROPOS-V: benchmarking the novel task of Crowd Volume Estimation
We introduce the novel task of Crowd Volume Estimation (CVE), defined as the process of estimating the collective body volume of crowds using only RGB images. Besides event management and public safety, CVE can be instrumental in approximating body weight, unlocking weight sensitive applications such as infrastructure stress assessment, and assuring even weight balance. We propose the first benchmark for CVE, comprising ANTHROPOS-V, a synthetic photorealistic video dataset featuring crowds in diverse urban environments. Its annotations include each person's volume, SMPL shape parameters, and keypoints. Also, we explore metrics pertinent to CVE, define baseline models adapted from Human Mesh Recovery and Crowd Counting domains, and propose a CVE specific methodology that surpasses baselines. Although synthetic, the weights and heights of individuals are aligned with the real-world population distribution across genders, and they transfer to the downstream task of CVE from real images. Benchmark and code are available at github.com/colloroneluca/Crowd-Volume-Estimation.

Data Poisoning Attacks and Defenses to Crowdsourcing Systems
A key challenge of big data analytics is how to collect a large volume of (labeled) data. Crowdsourcing aims to address this challenge via aggregating and estimating high-quality data (e.g., sentiment label for text) fro…
Data PoisoningExcluded volume effects in on- and off-lattice reaction-diffusion models
Mathematical models are important tools to study the excluded volume effects on reaction-diffusion systems, which are known to play an important role inside living cells. Detailed microscopic simulations with off-lattice…
Market Crowds' Trading Behaviors, Agreement Prices, and the Implications of Trading Volume
It has been long that literature in financial academics focuses mainly on price and return but much less on trading volume. In the past twenty years, it has already linked both price and trading volume to economic fundam…
MTCNET: Multi-task Learning Paradigm for Crowd Count Estimation
We propose a Multi-Task Learning (MTL) paradigm based deep neural network architecture, called MTCNet (Multi-Task Crowd Network) for crowd density and count estimation. Crowd count estimation is challenging due to the no…
