SAIVT-QUT Crowd Counting Database

Overview

This database contains three sequences annotated for crowd counting, captured on a university campus. Sequences are sparsely annotated (every 100 or 200 frames) over the approximately 5,000 or 10,000 frame sequence duration. Annotation is local, in that the location of each individual person in the frames is provided. Annotation is also provided for the PETS 2006 and 2009 datasets (although please note that you will need to download these databases separately). Contact  for more information.

The database is located in the 'Datasets/QUT' subdirectory. Calibration and ground truth annotation is included within this directory, as well as a clean background image and region of interest for each of the three sequences. Ground truth annotation for the PETS2006 and PETS2009 databases are contained within the 'Datasets/PETS2006' and 'Datasets/PETS2009' subdirectories. A summary of this follows:
