摘 要：Crowd counting for static images is one of the typical application fields of image processing. it is essential to direct crowd analysis for public security purposes under the background of a rapidly growing social environment. Crowd counting for static images involves crucial challenges such as occlusions, scale variations, scene perspective distortions and diverse crowd distributions. It has now become an independent research hotspot. This paper investigates the literature of crowd counting tasks, summarizes the evolution of counting approaches, compares and analyzes traditional methods and current trends of CNN estimation-based counting, and then evaluates common datasets for crowd counting tasks. Conclusions concerning summarizations and prospects are made.
