Installation

1. Install requirements: Python 2.7, Tensorflow >= 1.8, PyTorch >= 0.4, Pillow, tqdm, scipy
2. Download pretrained vgg model from https://download.pytorch.org/models/vgg16-397923af.pth
3. Place vgg16-397923af.pth under the working directory

Data

• Prepare the dataset first and modify data.py to make the data accessible. See data.py for detail. The current code of data.py is for Shanghai Tech Part B. Before training the model download Shanghai Tech dataset should be downloaded (https://drive.google.com/file/d/16dhJn7k4FWVwByRsQAEpl9lwjuV03jVI/view). Change 'data_dir' in data.py and relevant codes for loading the dataset.

Run

• Set batch size and number of devices in train.py and then run

  python train.py

• Note that the code is written to be plain but not optimally efficient.

Trained Weights

• We provide trained model on ShanghaiTech Part B: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qaYXLX5vYS0prhDFdYLWSr4YFDf_geQz
