Video action recognition based on skeleton nodes is a highlighted issue in the computer vision field. In real application scenarios, the large number of skeleton nodes and behavior occlusion problems between individuals seriously affect recognition speed and accuracy. Therefore, we proposed a lightweight multi-stream feature cross-fusion (L-MSFCF) model to recognize abnormal behaviors such as fighting, vicious kicking, climbing over the wall, et al., which could obviously improve recognition speed based on lightweight skeleton node calculation, and improve recognition accuracy based on occluded skeleton node prediction analysis in order to effectively solve the behavior occlusion problem. The experiments show that our proposed All-MSFCF model has a video action recognition average accuracy rate of 92.7% for eight kinds of abnormal behavior recognition. Although our proposed lightweight L-MSFCF model has an 87.3% average accuracy rate, its average recognition speed is 62.7% higher than the full-skeleton recognition model, which is more suitable for solving real-time tracing problems. Moreover, our proposed Trajectory Prediction Tracking (TPT) model could real-time predict the moving positions based on the dynamically selected core skeleton node calculation, especially for the short-term prediction within 15 frames and 30 frames that have lower average loss errors.
