Abstract：To address the issues of insufficient recognition accuracy and inaccurate detection of traditional algorithms in dense pedestrian scenarios, an improved dense pedestrian detection model based on YOLOv8n is proposed. Firstly, by introducing the SPPELAN module to replace the SPPF module in the backbone network, the model’s ability to perceive features of multi-scale targets is enhanced. Secondly, a residual attention mechanism is devised to improve the model’s ability to capture subtle features, thereby enhancing detection accuracy. Finally, by adding DySample operator and improving the small object detection layer, the model’s ability to locate and recognize small-scale objects is enhanced. Experimental results show that the improved model, compared to YOLOv8n, increases recall rate, mAP50, and mAP50-95 by 2.5%, 2.9%, and 2.4%, respectively, on the CrowdHuman dataset, and performs excellently on the WiderPerson and CityPersons datasets. The results of the experiments show that this algorithm is more effective for dense pedestrian detection tasks.
