Digitization of human motion data for semantic search

A method, comprising:

• in an electronic device:
• receiving a sequence of input images that depicts a physical performance associated with a body movement discipline;
• extracting a localized instance of a performer associated with the physical performance from an image frame of the sequence of image frames;
• determining a plurality of performance attributes associated with the performer based on application of an attribute recognition network on the localized instance, wherein the plurality of performance attributes comprises:
• an emotion attribute that includes positional information associated with a set of facial features of the performer,
• a posture attribute associated with a body of the performer, and
• a hand gesture attribute associated with each hand of the performer;
• and
• searching a performance database based on the plurality of performance attributes to generate a first search result,
• wherein the first search result specifies that the localized instance represents an unregistered pose or a registered pose of the body movement discipline.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that when executed by a first electronic device, causes the first electronic device to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving a sequence of input images that depicts a physical performance associated with a body movement discipline;
• extracting a localized instance of a performer associated with the physical performance from an image frame of the sequence of image frames;
• determining a plurality of performance attributes associated with the performer based on application of an attribute recognition network on the localized instance, wherein the plurality of performance attributes comprises:
• an emotion attribute that includes positional information associated with a set of facial features of the performer,
• a posture attribute associated with a body of the performer, and
• a hand gesture attribute associated with each hand of the performer;
• and
• searching a performance database based on the plurality of performance attributes to generate a first search result,
• wherein the first search result specifies that the localized instance represents an unregistered pose or a registered pose of the body movement discipline.
