This paper presents an innovative Intelligent Robot Sports Competition Tactical Analysis Model that leverages multimodal perception to tackle the pressing challenge of analyzing opponent tactics in sports competitions. The current landscape of sports competition analysis necessitates a comprehensive understanding of opponent strategies. However, traditional methods are often constrained to a single data source or modality, limiting their ability to capture the intricate details of opponent tactics.

Methods

Our system integrates the Swin Transformer and CLIP models, harnessing cross-modal transfer learning to enable a holistic observation and analysis of opponent tactics. The Swin Transformer is employed to acquire knowledge about opponent action postures and behavioral patterns in basketball or football games, while the CLIP model enhances the system's comprehension of opponent tactical information by establishing semantic associations between images and text. To address potential imbalances and biases between these models, we introduce a cross-modal transfer learning technique that mitigates modal bias issues, thereby enhancing the model's generalization performance on multimodal data.

Results

Through cross-modal transfer learning, tactical information learned from images by the Swin Transformer is effectively transferred to the CLIP model, providing coaches and athletes with comprehensive tactical insights. Our method is rigorously tested and validated using Sport UV, Sports-1M, HMDB51, and NPU RGB+D datasets. Experimental results demonstrate the system's impressive performance in terms of prediction accuracy, stability, training time, inference time, number of parameters, and computational complexity. Notably, the system outperforms other models, with a remarkable 8.47% lower prediction error (MAE) on the Kinetics dataset, accompanied by a 72.86-second reduction in training time.

Discussion

The presented system proves to be highly suitable for real-time sports competition assistance and analysis, offering a novel and effective approach for an Intelligent Robot Sports Competition Tactical Analysis Model that maximizes the potential of multimodal perception technology. By harnessing the synergies between the Swin Transformer and CLIP models, we address the limitations of traditional methods and significantly advance the field of sports competition analysis. This innovative model opens up new avenues for comprehensive tactical analysis in sports, benefiting coaches, athletes, and sports enthusiasts alike.
