Description
Summary:<p dir="ltr">Crowd counting and density estimation play a vital role in public safety, intelligent transport, urban planning, and event management. However, challenges like occlusions, complex scenes, and scale variation make accurate estimation difficult.This project introduces QD²CrowdNet, a lightweight yet effective deep learning model that balances accuracy and efficiency. It uses depthwise separable convolutions, a dilated multiscale backend, and a refinement module to generate high-quality density maps, making it ideal for real-time and edge-based applications.</p>
