New method enhances crowd counting in low-light conditions · 2 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for counting crowds in low-light conditions, an area that has been underexplored. The approach introduces three new datasets: SHA_Dark, SHB_Dark, and LC-Crowd. It utilizes Retinex-based modeling with depth and edge cues to enhance reflectance representations and proposes a Multi-Modal Hyper-Graph Fusion module to integrate RGB appearance, depth geometry, and edge structure. Additionally, a Deformable Rectangular Sparse Attention module is introduced to optimize computation for dense predictions, leading to a unified Low-Light Counting Network (LCNet) that reportedly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods. AI
