Crowd Counting & Density Estimation

Density-map regression that counts people in packed crowds

4-5 weeks build

Overview

When a crowd is too dense for bounding boxes, this kit regresses a density map instead. A CSRNet-style network with a VGG front end and dilated convolutions is trained on the ShanghaiTech dataset, and summing the predicted map gives the head count. A heatmap viewer highlights overcrowded regions and raises a warning when a set capacity is crossed.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Ground-truth density maps generated with adaptive Gaussian kernels
  • 02CSRNet-style dilated convolutional regressor
  • 03Trained and tested on the ShanghaiTech Part A and B splits
  • 04Heatmap overlay with capacity warnings per region
  • 05MAE and MSE reported against a detection-based baseline
