This study introduces an automatic document control technique which is based on the human hand waving movements. The recognition of hand movement is realized according to the surface electromyography (sEMG). A collector is set on the forearm. The sEMG signal is recorded and conveyed to a PC terminal by using wireless Zigbee. An automatic algorithm is developed in order to extract the characteristics of sEMG, recognize the waving movements, and transmit to document control command. The developed human-computer interaction technique can be used as a new gallery for teaching, as well as an assistant tool for disabled person.展开更多
文摘为了提高表面肌电信号(surface electromyography,sEMG)的手势分类准确率,通过惯性测量单元(inertial measurement unit,IMU)与采集姿态信号与sEMG的混合信号,提出了GRUBiLSTM双层网络的实时手势分类算法。第1层门控循环单元(gated recurrent unit,GRU)利用能量组合算子特征对混合信号进行突变点检测,定位运动态数据起始点;第2层双向长短时记忆循环神经网络(Bi-directional long short term memory,BiLSTM)使用能量核相图特征对运动态混合信号进行2个方向10种手势的分类。通过离线模型优化,分类算法识别时间低于40 ms,突变点检测精度88.7%以上,手势分类准确率为85%,信息传输率(informationtranslaterate, ITR)达到89.9 bits/min,与基于机器学习的分类算法相比,在准确率与计算效率上具有优势。
