CrowdHuman: A Benchmark for Detecting Human in a Crowd

New CrowdHuman dataset helps computers find people in packed scenes

Crowds are tricky — cameras often miss people when bodies stack up or hide each other.
A new photo collection called CrowdHuman was made to fix that, it contains about 470K human instances so models can learn from real busy scenes.
Each image often has many people, on average about 22.
6 per image
, so images shows real world crowd mess.
Every person are marked in three ways: head, visible and full-body, which helps teach systems where someone actually is even when parts are hidden.
This makes detecting people in malls, stations or streets much better, and detectors trained on this set also do well on other picture sets.
The idea is simple — give lots of messy, crowded examples so machines stop failing when people overlap or hide.
It wont solve everything, but it gives a solid step forward and a common ground for future work.
If you care about safer public spaces or smarter cameras, this is a dataset to watch and try out.
