Population density estimation method based on pyramid feature fusion

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of crowd density estimation, and relates to a crowd density estimation method based on pyramid feature fusion, the first thirteen layers of VGG-16 are used as a backbone network to perform preliminary feature extraction, and then a pyramid feature fusion module is designed for solving the problem that multi-scale target perception is difficult. Extracting multi-scale features by adopting hole convolution with different hole rates, and carrying out feature fusion on the multi-scale features from bottom to top and from top to bottom to enhance the scale perception capability of the network; meanwhile, for the problem that a complex background is misjudged as a target, channel attention branches are designed, global attention information is extracted, extraction of multi-scale features is supervised, finally, the multi-scale features are regressed into a final density map through combination of convolution and activation functions, crowd density estimation of an unconstrained scene can be carried out, and crowd density estimation accuracy is improved. The method can also be used for density estimation of various dense targets such as logs and cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of crowd density estimation, and relates to a crowd density estimation method based on pyramid feature fusion. Background technique [0002] With the increasing progress of the world's medical technology, the population of various countries is generally increasing. At the same time, due to the continuous advancement of urbanization, the urban population is increasing day by day, and it appears more and more frequently in public places such as performance venues, tourist resorts, commercial streets, airports, and railway stations. Large-scale crowds gather. In areas with high crowd density, various security accidents are prone to occur, which brings great challenges to security work. Crowd density estimation can monitor the degree of crowd aggregation in the scene in real time and detect high-density crowds in time. crowd and take evacuation measures. [0003] Early detection-based crowd density estimation m...
