摘要Robust motion similarity retrieval from monocular 2D pose sequences is challenged by body-scale variation,viewpoint inconsistency,translation drift,and temporal misalignment.Existing contrastive skeleton learning methods primarily address action recognition and rarely integrate explicit geometric canonicalization for retrievaloriented metric learning.This paper proposes a spatial-temporal normalized contrastive embedding framework that unifies structured nuisance suppression with scalable similarity representation learning.A four-stage normalization pipeline—torso-scale normalization,pelvis-centered alignment,posture-axis alignment,and phase-synchronized temporal resampling—removes geometric and temporal distortions prior to embedding.The normalized sequences are encoded using an acausal dilated temporal convolutional network trained with a hybrid contrastive objective combining NT-Xent and semi-hard triplet loss,enabling both global separation and fine-grained stylistic discrimination.A prototype-based representation further supports interpretable amateur-to-professional style mapping.Experiments on a golf swing benchmark achieve a Top-1 accuracy of 91.3%,outperforming BiLSTM and Dynamic Time Warping baselines.The framework establishes an invariant and interpretable paradigmfor motion similarity retrieval applicable to broader human movement analysis tasks.
