Multi‐level features extraction network with gating mechanism for crowd counting

Abstract Crowd counting is still a practical and challenging problem owing to scale variations and information loss. Most existing methods based on the straightforward fusion of different features from a deep neural network seem to eliminate this limitation. However, these features are difficult to...
