Crowd Counting with Decomposed Uncertainty.
2019
Research in neural networks in the field of computer vision has achieved remarkable accuracy for point estimation. However, the uncertainty in the estimation is rarely addressed. Uncertainty quantification accompanied by point estimation can lead to a more informed decision, and even improve the prediction quality. In this work, we focus on uncertainty estimation in the domain of crowd counting. We propose a scalable neural network framework with quantification of decomposed uncertainty using a bootstrap ensemble. We demonstrate that the proposed uncertainty quantification method provides additional insight to the crowd counting problem and is simple to implement. We also show that our proposed method outperforms the current state of the art method in many benchmark data sets. To the best of our knowledge, we have the best system for ShanghaiTech part A and B, UCF CC 50, UCSD, and UCF-QNRF datasets.
