Detection in Crowded Scenes: One Proposal, Multiple Predictions

A pytorch implementation is available on https://github.com/Purkialo/CrowdDet now.

This is the MegEngine implementation of our paper "Detection in Crowded Scenes: One Proposal, Multiple Predictions", https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.09163, published in CVPR 2020.

Our method aiming at detecting highly-overlapped instances in crowded scenes.

The key of our approach is to let each proposal predict a set of instances that might be highly overlapped rather than a single one in previous proposal-based frameworks. With this scheme, the predictions of nearby proposals are expected to infer the same set of instances, rather than distinguishing individuals, which is much easy to be learned. Equipped with new techniques such as EMD Loss and Set NMS, our detector can effectively handle the difficulty of detecting highly overlapped objects.

The network structure and results are shown here:

Run

1. Requirements:

   • python3.6.9, MegEngine 0.3.1, cuda10.0

2. CrowdHuman data:

   • CrowdHuman is a benchmark dataset to better evaluate detectors in crowd scenarios. The dataset can be downloaded from http://www.crowdhuman.org/. The path of the dataset is set in config.py.

3. Compile gpu_nms library：

   cd lib/layers
   sh ./setup.sh
   

   • Please note that in some environments you may need to modify setup.sh!

4. Steps to run:

   • Step1: training. More training and testing settings can be set in config.py.

   python3 train.py
   

   • Step2: testing. If you have multiple GPUs, you can use -d 2 to use more GPUs.

   python3 test.py -r 30
   

   • Step3: evaluating.

   python3 .evaluate/compute_APMR.py --detfile ./model/crowd_emd_simple/outputs/eval_dump/dump-30.json --target_key 'box'
   python3 .evaluate/compute_JI.py --detfile ./model/crowd_emd_simple/outputs/eval_dump/dump-30.json --target_key 'box'
