Abstract: The recognition of sports action is an important research subject, which is conducive to the improvement of athletes’ own level. To improve the accuracy of multi-modal data action recognition, based on the Transformer module, this study introduces a multi-head attention mechanism, fuses multi-modal data, and constructs a multi-stream structured object relationship inference network. Based on PointNet++ network and combining five different data fusion frameworks, a motion recognition model that integrates RGB data and 3D skeleton point cloud is constructed. The results showed that the Top-1 accuracy of multi-stream structured object relationship inference network was 42.5% and 42.7%, respectively, which was better than other algorithms. The accuracy of the multi-modal fusion model was improved by 15.6% and 5.1% compared with the single mode, and by 5.4% and 2.6% compared with the dual mode, which showed its superiority in the action recognition task. This showed that the fusion of multi-modal data can provide more abundant information, so as to improve the accuracy of action recognition. The accuracy of the action recognition model combining RGB data and 3D skeleton point cloud was 84.3%, 87.5%, 90.2%, 90.6% and 91.2% after the combination of different strategies, which effectively compensated for the problem of missing information in 3D skeleton point cloud and significantly improved the accuracy of action recognition. With a small amount of data, the Top-1 accuracy of the multi-stream structured object relationship inference network in this study was superior to other algorithms, showing its advantages in dealing with complex action recognition tasks. In addition, the action recognition model that fuses RGB data and 3D skeleton point cloud also achieved higher accuracy, which is better than other algorithms. This study can meet the needs of motion recognition in different scenarios and has certain reference value.
