密集场景行人检测算法研究密集场景行人检测算法研究

摘要：

随着城市化的加速和人口的增长，人口密集场景已成为城市景观中的一个普遍存在的现象。在这种场景下，行人密度往往较高，给人们的出行带来不便。因此，如何快速准确地检测出密集场景中的行人成为了目前计算机视觉领域的一个研究热点。

本文提出了一种基于深度学习的密集场景行人检测算法，该算法采用了目标检测中常用的卷积神经网络（CNN）结构，同时结合了多尺度特征和多方向特征，以适应不同尺度和方向的行人检测。此外，为了解决密集场景下行人之间相互遮挡的问题，本文还提出了一种基于分割的行人检测方法，将行人分为不同的部分进行检测，有效提高了检测准确率。

实验结果表明，所提出的算法在密集场景中能够取得显著的检测结果，且具有较高的准确率和鲁棒性，满足了在实际场景中行人检测的要求。
