系统梳理动作质量评估方法与基准，助力跨研究对比。

Action Quality Assessment (AQA) aims to automatically evaluate how well human actions are performed and has been widely applied in sports analysis, skill assessment, and healthcare. However, AQA studies are often developed under heterogeneous datasets and evaluation settings, making systematic comparison across methods difficult. To address these challenges, we present a comprehensive survey of recent advances in AQA. In particular, we propose a modality-driven hierarchical taxonomy that organizes existing methods into video-based, skeleton-based, and multi-modal approaches, and analyze the methodological evolution of representative models. We further establish a unified benchmark for representative video-based AQA methods by integrating diverse datasets and standardized evaluation protocols, enabling consistent comparison in terms of both accuracy and computational efficiency. Finally, we analyze emerging research trends, identify key challenges in current AQA research, and outline future directions ranging from near-term methodological advances to longer-term opportunities enabled by emerging AI paradigms.
