The invention provides a limb movement recognition and comparison method based on artificial intelligence, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, collecting standard limb movement data, andtraining a standard movement model; s2, collecting body movement data to be compared; s3, inputting to-be-compared body movement data into the standard movement model, and respectively extracting body key point data in the standard body movement data and the to-be-compared body movement data; and S4, according to the standard limb movement data and the limb key point data in the to-be-compared limb movement data, calculating the deviation between the to-be-compared limb movement and the standard limb movement, and scoring the to-be-compared limb movement. The body movement recognition and comparison cost is low, the convenience is high, the efficiency is high, and the body movement recognition and comparison method can be applied to AI fitness and other scenes.
