The invention discloses a multi-scale dense
crowd counting method, and belongs to the field of
aviation monitoring. Firstly, collecting data of a dense scene, marking and preprocessing crowd images toserve as training pictures, and then sequentially subjecting the training pictures to
convolution operation and a multi-level
pooling module to obtain feature maps corresponding to the pictures and fusing with multi-scale information, and using a convolutional layer with a
convolution kernel of 1 * 1 step length of 1 to respectively perform positioning information enhancement on each feature mapto obtain the corresponding feature map with enhanced positioning information, and repeatedly using the
convolution operation and the multi-level
pooling module to fuse each positioning information enhanced feature map, re-positioning the information enhancement to obtain a final feature map, decoding, and gradually recovering the spatial resolution by using a bilinear interpolation method to obtain respective final
crowd density map, and carrying out integral summation by using the pixel value in each
crowd density map to obtain the final number of people. According to the invention, the counting precision is improved, and a better cognitive ability is provided for a monitoring scene.
