Emg Acquisition and Hand Pose Classification for Bionic Hands from Randomly-Placed Sensors

Sumit A. Raurale, John McAllister, Jesús Martínez del Rincón

Abstract

This paper presents a unique real-time motion recognition system for Electromyographic (EMG) signal acquisition and classification. It is the first approach which can classify hand poses from multi-channel EMG signals gathered from randomly placed arm sensors as accurately as current placed-sensor EMG acquisition approaches. It combines time-domain feature extraction, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) feature projection and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) classification to allow nine distinct poses to be correctly identified more than 95% of the time. This is comparable to state-of-the-art placed-sensor EMG acquisition systems. Processing times of 11.70 ms also make this a viable candidate approach for real-time EMG acquisition and processing in practical prosthesis applications.
