Patent attributes
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for recognizing a body movement. A specific embodiment of the method includes: sampling an input to-be-recognized video to obtain a sampled image frame sequence of the to-be-recognized video; performing key point detection on the sampled image frame sequence by using a trained body key point detection model, to obtain a body key point position heat map of each sampled image frame in the sampled image frame sequence, the body key point position heat map being used to represent a probability feature of a position of a preset body key point; and inputting body key point position heat maps of the sampled image frame sequence into a trained movement classification model to perform classification, to obtain a body movement recognition result corresponding to the to-be-recognized video.
