Automated crowd counting in Hajj video is difficult not because current models lack capacity, but because the footage violates the assumptions those models were built on: cameras observe the crowd from steep, near-vertical angles, individuals occlude one another extensively, and a single frame can contain well over a thousand people. Benchmarks that test crowd counting in such an environment are either private or not detailed per second.

ABACUS is a unified vision-language model that handles object counting, crowd counting, referring-expression counting, and count-faithful image generation without any benchmark-specific training required. Our model is built on existing 3B-parameter unified foundation model and is adapted for object localization tasks using three key innovations: density-aware adaptive zooming with objectness maps for spatial grounding; a boundary-aware count policy via GRPO to eliminate crop-boundary errors; and a cycle-consistent GRPO strategy where the understanding branch self-critiques generated outputs, closing the understanding-generation gap without any external annotations.
