Skeleton-based deep pose feature learning for action quality assessment on figure skating videos (1)

Skip Abstract Section

Abstract

Abstract

Most of the existing Action Quality Assessment (AQA) methods for scoring sports videos have deeply researched how to evaluate the single action or several sequential-defined actions that performed in short-term sport videos, such as diving, vault, etc. They attempted to extract features directly from RGB videos through 3D ConvNets, which makes the features mixed with ambiguous scene information. To investigate the effectiveness of deep pose feature learning on automatically evaluating the complicated activities in long-duration sports videos, such as figure skating and artistic gymnastic, we propose a skeleton-based deep pose feature learning method to address this problem. For pose feature extraction, a spatial–temporal pose extraction module (STPE) is built to capture the subtle changes of human body movements and obtain the detail representations for skeletal data in space and time dimensions. For temporal information representation, an inter-action temporal relation extraction module (ATRE) is implemented by recurrent neural network to model the dynamic temporal structure of skeletal subsequences. We evaluate the proposed method on figure skating activity of MIT-skate and FIS-V datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective than RGB video-based deep feature learning methods, including SENet and C3D. Significant performance progress has been achieved for the Spearman Rank Correlation (SRC) on MIT-Skate dataset. On FIS-V dataset, for the Total Element Score (TES) and the Program Component Score (PCS), better SRC and MSE have been achieved between the predicted scores against the judge’s ones when compared with SENet and C3D feature methods.

Highlights

A skeleton-based pose feature method for AQA of complicated activity in long video.

Effective spatial–temporal pose features and inter-action relations are learned.

Performance outperform SENet and C3D feature methods on MIT-Skate and FIS-V dataset.
