Three-Dimensional Diffusion Model in Sports Dance Video Human Skeleton Detection and Extraction by Zhi Li

“…The research in this paper mainly includes as follows: for the principle of action recognition based on the 3D diffusion model convolutional neural network, the whole detection process is carried out from fine to coarse using a bottom-up approach; for the human skeleton detection accuracy, a multibranch multistage cascaded CNN structure is proposed, and this network structure enables the model to learn the relationship between the joints of the human body from the original image and effectively predict the occluded parts, allowing simultaneous prediction of skeleton point positions and skeleton point association information on the one hand, and refinement of the detection results in an iterative manner on the other. …”
