ABSTRACT: In modern society, dense crowd detection technology is particularly important due to the frequent occurrence of crowd scenes such as stations, shopping malls, and event sites, which are often accompanied by safety risks, like stampede accidents. Although many studies have made progress in estimating population density, the ability to accurately identify dense areas in multi-scale scenarios still needs to be improved. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an improved multi-scale dense crowd detection method based on YOLOv5 and improved the DBSCAN clustering algorithm to identify densely crowded areas. Experiments show that the improved multi-scale dense crowd detection method can identify target crowds at multiple scales, and the accuracy of its detection results is around 70%. In addition, by calculating the crowd density under the same scale conditions and visualising the dense areas, we were able to solve the problem of dividing the crowded areas and visualise the dense areas more accurately. These improvements enhanced the applicability and reliability of the model in practical applications and provided strong technical support for security monitoring and management.
