FCTNet: Fusion of 3D CNN and transformer dance action recognition network

Folk dance is an important intangible cultural heritage in China. In the environment where movement recognition technology is widely used, there is still no research field on the protection and inheritance of folk dance culture. In order to better protect and inherit the minority dance, screening the typical movements of 5 types of minority dance, through the dance video frame processing, obtain the key movements of 19 class dance sequence, build the national dance typical action data set, put forward a 3D CNN fusion Transformer national dance recognition network model (FCTNet), the recognition rate of 96.7% in the experiment. The results show that the construction method of the folk dance data set is reasonable, the identification model has good performance for the classification of folk dance, and can effectively identify and record the folk dance movements, which also makes new contributions to the digital protection of folk dance.
