To address the issue that existing methods perform well in fixed-camera scenarios but fail in mobile drone perspectives, researchers released the MovingDroneCrowd++ dataset and proposed two new methods: GD3A and GIA-Track. GD3A achieves video individual counting through global density map decomposition, while GIA-Track establishes multi-object tracking trajectories based on group identity associations. Both methods are integrated into a single framework, utilizing intra-group density distribution and aggregated pixel-level matching across frames, and optimizing optimal transmission through frame-pair conditional trash can scores to distinguish between different identities. Experiments show that this method reduces counting errors by 47.4% and improves tracking accuracy by 64.6% in mobile drone videos. The related code, dataset, and pre-trained models are now open-source.
