Crowd Counting in the Frequency Domain

This repository is the official implementation of Crowd Counting in the Frequency Domain and `Generalized Characteristic Function Loss for Crowd Analysis in the Frequency Domain' (appear on TPAMI 2024)

Some notes

1, For using the noisy crowd counting loss, please see the comments at trainer.py/Chf_trainer class//init method. Generally speaking, the noisy crowd counting loss performs better then general chf loss, but it also depends on the dataset and the backbone network. In practical application, I suggest you to try both of them.

2, For crowd localization part, I may release them in the future. Since the codes are still remained to be collated now, but I'm busy in my graduation currently.

3, For the transformer based network, the loss performs very differently on different transformer-based networks, I guess there maybe some overfitting problems on some special transformer structures. You can try it on diverse transformer structure and find the problem. I'm sure that this loss is powerful, but there is still much improvement space, I'm glad to see any improvement on it.

4, If you use the codes for academic purpose, please cite my papers properly. To fast understand my codes, I suggest you to read the comments in my codes. Hope that my codes can help you solve some problems. Have fun!

5, For the supplementary material of `Generalized Characteristic Function Loss for Crowd Analysis in the Frequency Domain', you can download it in this page: http://visal.cs.cityu.edu.hk/publications/ (seach the title in the page and download the supplemental)

To prepare datasets, run this command:

python dataset_preparation.py <arg1>

arg1 is selected from [SHTCA, SHTCB, QNRF, JHU++, NWPU], e.g.,

python dataset_preparation.py SHTCA

Training

To train the model in the paper, run this command:

python train.py <arg1> <arg2>

arg1: specify the dataset name--SHTCA, SHTCB, QNRF, JHU++, NWPU, or your own prepared dataset.

arg2: give a name to distinguish the best model of this trial from others (you don't need to add `.pth', just give the file name without suffix).

e.g.

python train.py SHTCA best_model

Evaluation

To evaluate my model, run:

python test.py <arg1> <arg2>

arg1: specify the dataset name--SHTCA, SHTCB, QNRF, JHU++, NWPU, or your own prepared dataset.

arg2: the relative path of the pretrained model.

e.g.

python test.py SHTCA Model/model_pretrain/shtca.pth

Pre-trained Models
