People Counting Dataset (PCDS)

The purpose of people counting dataset is to count the number of people passing through a specified scene. In this dataset, we published a set of videos recorded in the entrance of bus scene by Kinect V1 camera. Each depth video has its corresponding RGB video. And each pair of videos is labeled to indicate the number of pedestrians passing through the scene.

• This dataset contains 5,464 pair of videos, including depth video, and color video. And total up to 10,908 videos.
• Total up to about 20,908 people passing through the scene
• These videos is recorded in the entrance of buses.
• The camera is mounted at the top of the entrance of buses.

Dataset

The dataset is available at BaiYun [keys: 2s31] OR Google Drive has been removed for the space limit.

Classfication

These videos are categoried by 4 sub-categories: N+C+, N+C-, N-C+, N-C-, according to the sunlight and crowed, as shown in the following table.

	N+C+	N+C-	N-C+	N-C-
sunlight	strong	strong	weak	weak
crowed	yes	no	yes	no

There are total up to 5,464 videos in this dataset. The detail number of people entering and exiting the bus in each category can be referred from the following table.

	N+C+	N+C-	N-C+	N-C-
entering	937	616	5427	2704
exiting	1149	668	6647	2760
total	2086	1284	12074	5464

Dataset Structure

The structure of these videos is illustrated in the following figure.

There are 30 scene in the PCDS. And each scene is named by the the following format:

BUS_DATETIME_[front, back]

where, BUS is the bus number, DATETIME is the reocred date, [front, back] indicates wheter the video is recorded in front entrance of the bus or not. For example the scene name 25_20160411_front means we record the video at the front door of 25 bus at 04, Nov. 2016.

The following figure shows the folder structure of the PCDS.

Label Format

In each scene directory (i.e. 25_2016_0410_back), there is a label file which is named as "label.txt". This label file contains both camera extrinsic parameters and the number of people entering/exiting the bus for each video. The following figure illustrate the demo of label file.

The first 4 lines is the camera extrinsic parameter, which is 4x3 matrix. The followed lines are the number of people passing through the scene whose format is shown as follows:

DepthVideoName, EnteringNumber, ExitingNumber, VideoType

DepthVideoName: the depth video name EnteringNumber: the number of people entering the bus ExitingNumber: the number of people exiting the bus VideoType: the video type. There are 4 video types represented by the index (0: N-C-, 1: N-C+, 2: N+C-, 3: N+C+).

Recording Condition

These videos are recorded by Kinect V1, the configuration of camera is illustrated in the following. The camera in mounted in the top of the entrance and has a pitch angle. People passes through the bus door. The task is to count these pedestrian (entering or existing)

Notice

We only focus on the deth video and the color video is an accessory. We cannot guarantee the synchronization of color video and depth video.
