Abstract Crowd counting is a promising hotspot of computer vision involving crowd intelligence analysis, achieving tremendous success recently with the development of deep learning. However, there have been still many challenges including crowd multi-scale variations and high network complexity, etc. To tackle these issues, a lightweight Res-connection multi-branch network (LRMBNet) for highly accurate crowd counting and localization is proposed. Specifically, using improved ShuffleNet V2 as the backbone, a lightweight shallow extractor has been designed by employing the channel compression mechanism to reduce enormously the number of network parameters. A light multi-branch structure with different expansion rate… More >
