Abstract

This study proposes a unified multimodal temporal motion state perception framework for optical imaging-oriented biomedical applications, integrating visual skeleton sequences, inertial measurement unit (IMU) signals, and surface electromyography (EMG) signals. The framework utilizes modality-specific encoders and a cross-modal temporal alignment attention mechanism to explicitly model temporal offsets from heterogeneous sensing streams. A multimodal temporal Transformer backbone is introduced to capture long-range motion dependencies and cross-modal interactions, while an uncertainty-aware fusion module dynamically allocates weights based on modality confidence. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves an accuracy of 94.37%, an F1-score of 93.95%, and a mean average precision of 96.02%, outperforming mainstream baseline models. Robustness evaluations further confirm stable performance under visual occlusion and sensor noise. These results indicate that the framework provides a highly accurate and robust solution for rehabilitation assessment, sports training monitoring, and wearable intelligent interaction systems.
