A deep learning-based approach for emotional analysis of sports dance

There is a phenomenon of attaching importance to technique and neglecting emotion in the training of sports dance (SP), which leads to the lack of integration between movement and emotion and seriously affects the training effect. Therefore, this article uses the Kinect 3D sensor to collect the video information of SP performers and obtains the pose estimation of SP performers by extracting the key feature points. The Arousal-Valence (AV) emotion model, based on the Fusion Neural Network model (FUSNN), is also combined with theoretical knowledge. It replaces long short term memory (LSTM) with gate recurrent unit (GRU), adds layer-normalization and layer-dropout, and reduces stack levels, and it is used to categorize SP performers’ emotions. The experimental results show that the model proposed in this article can accurately detect the key points in the performance of SP performers’ technical movements and has a high emotional recognition accuracy in the tasks of 4 categories and eight categories, reaching 72.3% and 47.8%, respectively. This study accurately detected the key points of SP performers in the presentation of technical movements and made a major contribution to the emotional recognition and relief of this group in the training process.
