It is important to monitor and analyze crowd events for the sake of city safety. In an EDOF (extended depth of field) image with a crowded scene, the distribution of people is highly imbalanced. People far away from the camera look much smaller and often occlude each other heavily, while people close to the camera look larger. In such a case, it is difficult to accurately estimate the number of people by using one technique. In this paper, we propose a Depth Information Guided Crowd Counting (DigCrowd) method to deal with crowded EDOF scenes. DigCrowd first uses the depth information of an image to segment the scene into a far-view region and a near-view region. Then Digcrowd maps the far-view region to its crowd density map and uses a detection method to count the people in the near-view region. In addition, we introduce a new crowd dataset that contains 1000 images. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our DigCrowd method.
Since ECG data is highly sensitive medical data, the acquisition of ECG data is highly restricted. However, with the increasing demand for ECG big data research, the improvement of computer computing capabilities, and the development of deep learning, the direction of ECG intelligent analysis is facing a serious lack of standard clinical data. In order to generate more precise ECG data, this paper proposes a GAN architecture for generating ECG heartbeat data. The network structure is simple and does not require any domain knowledge. In this paper, the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database is selected, from which all left bundle branch block heartbeats are selected to form a training dataset. The training process shows that the proposed GAN structure is effective and accurate, and the generated results show that not only the generated simulated ECG heartbeat data is diverse, but also highly similar to the real data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
