Finger Gesture Recognition Using Sensing and Classification of Surface Electromyography Signals With High-Precision Wireless Surface Electromyography Sensors

Finger gesture recognition (FGR) plays a crucial role in achieving, for example, artificial limb control and human-computer interaction. Currently, the most common methods of FGR are visual-based, voice-based, and surface electromyography (EMG)-based ones. Among them, surface EMG-based FGR is very p...

Currently, the most common methods of FGR are visual-based, voice-based, and surface electromyography (EMG)-based ones.
