<p>The 3D crowd counting paper has been accepted to AAAI 2020, which was first rejected by ICCV 2019 due to the lack of ablation study on the 3D ground-truth settings. Later, we added the ablation study and resubmitted the paper to AAAI 2020.</p> <p>In AAAI 2020, 7,737 submissions were reviewed and 1,591 accepted “due to space limitations”. Although this year’s acceptance rate of 20.6 percent is higher than last year’s 16.2 percent.</p>
