The application discloses a
crowd density estimation method based on sparse support base
estimation, and proposes a target
perception attention mechanism enhanced by sparse support base
estimation of head features of a monitoring area based on crowd congestion, density, and mutual
occlusion; proposes a target scale
perception attention mechanism of sparse support base estimation based on the change of head scale caused by the distance of people in a scene, generates a head scale
perception rate, controls an adaptive sampling mechanism of
convolution, further improves the distinguishability of heads, performs
crowd density prediction on the enhanced multi-scale features, obtains a
crowd density map, and statistically obtains the number of
crowds in the monitoring area; solves the problem that heads are difficult to distinguish due to crowd congestion, different density, and mutual
occlusion in a monitoring area where a large number of people gather and appear, and the problem that the scale of heads in an image changes due to the distance of people in a scene, and a crowd density map with good quality can be obtained, and the accuracy of crowd density estimation is improved.
