Abstract: The study addresses the challenges of human action recognition and analysis in computer vision, with a focus on classifying Indian dance forms. The complexity of these dance styles, including variations in body postures and hand gestures, makes classification difficult. Deep learning models require large datasets for good performance, so standard data augmentation techniques are used to increase model generalizability. The study proposes the Indian Classical Dance Generative Adversarial Network (ICD-GAN) for augmentation and the quantum-based Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) for classification. The research consists of three phases: traditional augmentation, GAN-based augmentation, and a combination of both. The proposed QCNN is introduced to reduce computational time. Different GAN variants DC-GAN, CGAN, MFCGAN are employed for augmentation, while transfer learning-based CNN models VGG-16, VGG-19, MobileNet-v2, ResNet-50, and new QCNN are implemented for classification. The study demonstrates that GAN-based augmentation outperforms traditional methods, and QCNN reduces computational complexity while improving prediction accuracy. The proposed method achieves a precision rate of 98.7% as validated through qualitative and quantitative analysis. It provides a more effective and efficient approach compared to existing methods for Indian dance form classification.
