Abstract: Action quality assessment refers to evaluate the action quality performed by human in video,such as calculating the quality score,level and evaluating the performance of different people.It is an important direction in video understanding and computer vision research.This paper summarizes the main methods of action quality assessment,including action quality score prediction methods,level classification and ranking methods.The performance of these methods on public datasets is also analyzed.Finally,the challenge problems in future research are discussed.

Key words: Video understanding, Action quality assessment, Quality score prediction, Grade classification, Level sort
