Abstract

Gesture recognition based on surface electromyographic (sEMG) is one of the most critical technologies in the field of human–computer interactions(HCI). The previous sEMG-based gesture recognition frameworks have poor effect due to the inappropriate feature processing. In this paper, we propose a sEMG-based gesture recognition framework called TF-LSTMCNN(LSTM and CNN based on TD and FD features). We formulated the feature combination from time domain (TD) and frequency domain (FD) as the diversified feature representation, as well as an advanced feature representation learned from a fusion technique that integrates a variety of discriminative sEMG signal patterns. To generate diversity feature representations, we considered the redundancy and uniqueness among features and chose a combination of TD and FD features. The accuracy of the proposed method achieved 85.13%, and is 8.58% higher than SVM which showed higher performance in the machine learning (ML) methods.
