The intelligent football players’ motion recognition system based on convolutional neural network and big data
Abstract
This article focuses on evaluating the efficacy of intelligent image processing techniques using deep learning algorithms in the context of football, to present pragmatic solutions for enhancing the functional strength training of football players. The article commences by delving into the prevailing research landscape concerning image recognition in football. It then embarks on a comprehensive examination of the prevailing landscape in soccer image recognition research. Subsequently, a novel soccer image classification model is meticulously crafted through the fusion of Space-Time Graph Neural Network (STGNN) and Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM). The devised model introduces the potency of STGNN to extract spatial features from sequences of images, adeptly harnessing spatial information through judiciously integrated graph convolutional layers. These layers are further bolstered by the infusion of graph attention modules and channel attention modules, working in tandem to amplify salient information within distinct channels. Concurrently, the temporal dimension is adroitly addressed by the incorporation of BiLSTM, effectively capturing the temporal dynamics inherent in image sequences. Rigorous simulation analyses are conducted to gauge the prowess of this model. The empirical outcomes resoundingly affirm the potency of the proposed deep hybrid attention network model in the realm of soccer image processing tasks. In the arena of action recognition and classification, this model emerges as a paragon of performance enhancement. Impressively, the model notched an accuracy of 94.34 %, precision of 92.35 %, recall of 90.44 %, and F1-score of 89.22 %. Further scrutiny of the model's image recognition capabilities unveils its proficiency in extracting comprehensive features and maintaining stable recognition performance when applied to football images. Consequently, the football intelligent image processing model based on deep hybrid attention networks, as formulated within this article, attains high recognition accuracy and demonstrates consistent recognition performance. These findings offer invaluable insights for injury prevention and personalized skill enhancement in the training of football players.
