Title: | Convolutional Neural Networks and Heuristic Methods for Crowd Counting: A Systematic Review |
Issue Date: | 2022-07 |
Abstract: | The crowd counting task has become a pillar for crowd control as it provides information concerning the number of people in a scene. It is helpful in many scenarios such as video surveillance, public safety, and future event planning. To solve such tasks, researchers have proposed different solutions. In the beginning, researchers went with more traditional solutions, while recently the focus is on deep learning methods and, more specifically, on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), because of their efficiency. This review explores these methods by focusing on their key differences, advantages, and disadvantages. We have systematically analyzed algorithms and works based on the different models suggested and the problems they are trying to solve. The main focus is on the shift made in the history of crowd counting methods, moving from the heuristic models to CNN models by identifying each category and discussing its different methods and architectures. After a deep study of the literature on crowd counting, the survey partitions current datasets into sparse and crowded ones. It discusses the reviewed methods by comparing their results on the different datasets. The findings suggest that the heuristic models could be even more effective than the CNN models in sparse scenarios. |
