Abstract
With the advent of deep learning (DL) for signal processing, the deployment of DL for radar-based crowd counting has yielded significant performance enhancement. Despite these advancements, current methodologies predominantly undergo validation in controlled conditions with limited subject movement variability, posing a challenge for practical usage. Addressing this gap, this letter first attempts the application of radar-based crowd counting in an unregulated and dense setting, capturing the radar reflections of up to 31 subjects in real-world scenarios, such as queues at restaurant kiosks. Furthermore, to address the complexities of such a challenging condition, we introduce a novel radar crowd counting model that utilizes a spatiotemporal transformer. The expremental results demonstrate the potentiality of the proposed model as a robust crowd counting system under the full realistic scenarios, as well as establish its superiority over the conventional radar-based crowd counting models.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Signal Processing Letters is a monthly, archival publication designed to provide rapid dissemination of original, cutting-edge ideas and timely, significant contributions in signal, image, speech, language and audio processing. Papers published in the Letters can be presented within one year of their appearance in signal processing conferences such as ICASSP, GlobalSIP and ICIP, and also in several workshop organized by the Signal Processing Society.
