Dance Art Scene Classification Based on Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract

Digital multimedia resources have become an important part of people’s daily cultural life. Automatic scene classification of a large number of dance art videos is the basis for scene semantic based video content retrieval. In order to improve the accuracy of scene classification, the videos are identified using a deep convolutional neural network based on differential evolution for dance art videos. First, the Canny operator is used in YCbCr colour space to detect the human silhouette in the key frames of the video. Then, the AdaBoost algorithm based on cascade structure is used to implement human target tracking and labelling, and the construction and updating of weak classifiers are analysed. Next, a differential evolution algorithm is used to optimise the structural parameters of the convolutional neural network, and an adaptive strategy is adopted for the scaling factor of the differential evolution algorithm to improve the optimisation solution accuracy. Finally, the improved deep convolutional neural network is used to train the classification of the labelled videos in order to obtain stable scene classification results. The experimental results show that by reasonably setting the crossover rate of differential evolution and the convolutional kernel size of the convolutional neural network, high scene classification performance can be obtained. The high accuracy and low root-mean-square error validate the applicability of the proposed method in dance art scene classification.
