| Sumario: | Surface electromyography (sEMG)-based gesture recognition systems provide the intuitive and accurate recognition of various gestures in human-computer interaction. In this study, an sEMG-based hand posture recognition algorithm was developed, considering three main problems: electrode shift, feature vectors, and posture groups. The sEMG signal was measured using an armband sensor with the electrode shift. An artificial neural network classifier was trained using 21 feature vectors for seven different posture groups. The inter-session and inter-feature Pearson correlation coefficients (PCCs) were calculated. The results indicate that the classification performance improved with the number of training sessions of the electrode shift. The number of sessions necessary for efficient training was four, and the feature vectors with a high inter-session PCC (<i>r</i> > 0.7) exhibited high classification accuracy. Similarities between postures in a posture group decreased the classification accuracy. Our results indicate that the classification accuracy could be improved with the addition of more electrode shift training sessions and that the PCC is useful for selecting the feature vector. Furthermore, hand posture selection was as important as feature vector selection. These findings will help in optimizing the sEMG-based pattern recognition algorithm more easily and quickly. |
