Research on Visitor Flow Recognition and Regulation Optimization in Scenic Areas Based on Deep Transfer Learning
Main Article Content
Abstract
To address sparse samples, poor scenario adaptability, and imprecise control strategies in scenic-area visitor-flow behavior recognition, this paper studies the application of deep transfer learning to visitor-flow recognition and regulation optimization. Integrating visitor behavior science, deep transfer learning, and crowd dynamics theory, the study establishes a technical framework of “data collection-feature transfer-behavior recognition-control optimization, ” and defines core visitor behavior types and regulation objectives. To solve data scarcity in small-sample scenarios, multi-source data including video surveillance, GPS trajectories, and ticketing data are fused to construct the STBD- 2024 scenic-area visitor-flow dataset, covering six typical behavior categories. A deep transfer learning model based on improved ResNet50 and domain adaptation is then designed, improving cross-scenario behavior recognition accuracy through pre-training and fine-tuning. Finally, behavior-recognition results are combined with scenic-area spatial layout features to propose a three-dimensional regulation strategy of zonal regulation, dynamic diversion, and precise early warning. Simulation experiments and field validation quantify the effectiveness of the model and regulation strategy.
