Blockage of pedestrians will cause inaccurate people counting, and people’s heads are easily blocked by each other in crowded occasions. To reduce missed detections as much as possible and improve the capability of the detection model, this paper proposes a new people counting method, named Soft-YoloV4, by attenuating the score of adjacent detection frames to prevent the occurrence of missed detection. The proposed Soft-YoloV4 improves the accuracy of people counting and reduces the incorrect elimination of the detection frames when heads are blocked by each other. Compared with the state-of-the-art YoloV4, the AP value of the proposed head detection method is increased from 88.52 to 90.54%. The Soft-YoloV4 model has much higher robustness and a lower missed detection rate for head detection, and therefore it dramatically improves the accuracy of people counting.

In order to improve the accuracy of people counting in video surveillance, the method for people counting based on the analysis of the mass is proposed. The novel algorithm of objects tracking is designed to aim at people counting, and the people counting model is obtained by training a support vector machine (SVM) classifier with the input of the feature of mass. The experimental results show that the accuracy of counting is over 93%.

In order to improve the accuracy of people counting in video surveillance, the method for people counting based on the moving feature of the mass is proposed. We obtain the orientation and energy density of mass through the optical flow algorithm, and get the information about the size of mass to design the feature of mass. The people counting model is obtained by training a support vector machine (SVM) classifier with the moving feature and shape feature of mass. The experimental results confirm that our approach improves the accuracy of people counting.
