Residual Regression With Semantic Prior for Crowd Counting
Crowd counting is a challenging task due to factors such as large variations in crowdedness and severe occlusions. Although recent deep learning based counting algorithms have achieved a great progress, the correlation knowledge among samples and the semantic prior have not yet been fully exploited. In this paper, a residual regression framework is proposed for crowd counting utilizing the correlation information among samples. By incorporating such information into our network, we discover that more intrinsic characteristics can be learned by the network which thus generalizes better to unseen scenarios. Besides, we show how to effectively leverage the semantic prior to improve the performance of crowd counting. We also observe that the adversarial loss can be used to improve the quality of predicted density maps, thus leading to an improvement in crowd counting. Experiments on public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization ability of the proposed method.
