  • [2020.07.30] Version 3 (Final Version) of the paper is pre-printed.
  • [2020.07.29] Code for crowd localization is released.
  • [2020.05.25] Version 2 of the paper is pre-printed.
  • [2020.05.22] Box-level annotations are provided. jsons.zip and mats.zip are changed. Please refer to Download section.
  • [2020.01.10] NWPU-Crowd and CrowdBenchmark for counting are released.

Overview

NWPU consists of 5,109 images and contains 2,133,375 annotated instances with point and box lables. Compareing with the previous datasets, the main advantages are:

  • Negative Samples
  • Fair Evaluation
  • High Resolution
  • Large Appearance Variation

Evaluation Protocol

Crowd Counting:

  • MAE (Overall MAE is primary key.)
  • MSE
  • NAE

Crowd Localization:

  • Precision
  • Recall
  • F1-Measure (Overall F1-Measure is primary key.)

Submission

In addition to submit the test results in CorwdBenchmark.com, you also send your validation results (density map or localization results) to us (gjy3035 [at] gmail [dot] com). We will upload it to netdisk and share its download link, which will make it easier for researchers to compare algorithms.
