Skeleton-Based Action Quality Assessment with Anomaly-Aware DTW Optimization for Intelligent Sports Education

In intelligent sports education, current action quality assessment (AQA) methods face significant limitations: regression-based methods are heavily dependent on high-quality annotated data, while unsupervised methods lack sufficient accuracy and degrade performance when handling long-duration sequences. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a novel indirect scoring method integrating action anomaly detection with a Quick Action Quality Assessment (QAQA) algorithm. In this method, the proposed anomaly detection module dynamically adjusts action quality scores by identifying and analyzing acceleration outliers between frames, effectively improving the robustness and accuracy of sports AQA. Moreover, the QAQA algorithm utilizes a multi-resolution approach, including coarsening, projection, and refinement, to significantly reduce computational complexity to O(n), alleviating the computational burden typically associated with long sequence analyses. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms traditional methods in execution efficiency and scoring accuracy. The proposed system improves algorithmic performance and effectively contributes to intelligent sports training and education.

Abstract

In intelligent sports education, current action quality assessment (AQA) methods face significant limitations: regression-based methods are heavily dependent on high-quality annotated data, while unsupervised methods lack sufficient accuracy and degrade performance when handling long-duration sequences. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a novel indirect scoring method integrating action anomaly detection with a Quick Action Quality Assessment (QAQA) algorithm. In this method, the proposed anomaly detection module dynamically adjusts action quality scores by identifying and analyzing acceleration outliers between frames, effectively improving the robustness and accuracy of sports AQA. Moreover, the QAQA algorithm utilizes a multi-resolution approach, including coarsening, projection, and refinement, to significantly reduce computational complexity to O(n), alleviating the computational burden typically associated with long sequence analyses. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms traditional methods in execution efficiency and scoring accuracy. The proposed system improves algorithmic performance and effectively contributes to intelligent sports training and education.
