A distributed parallelly decision fusion algorithm fused classification results of the two signals to form a final judgment. After sEMG was decomposed by wavelet packet, feature information of some subspace was weaken, because subspace dimension was very large. To solve the problem, the paper proposed an improved wavelet packet decomposition algorithm, which extracted sample entropy from four subspaces of improved wavelet packet decomposition and took it as the feature information. Experimental results show that the intelligent wheelchair system based on sEMG and head gesture has not only a simple operation and shorter operating time, but also a better stability and security.展开更多

This method can realize an effective compression of the speech signals and make the training and recognition environments more matching, so the recognition rate can be improved in the noise environments. By experimenting on the intelligent wheelchair platform, the result shows that the algorithm can effectively enhance the robustness of speech recognition, and ensure the recognition rate in the noise environments.展开更多

A CyberLink device is deployed to obtain and analyze forehead sEMG signals generated by the facial movements. The autoregressive （AR） model is used to extract sEMG features. Then, the back-propagation artificial neural network （BPANN） is proposed to recognize different facial movement patterns and improved by Bayesian regularization and Levenberg-Marquardt （LM） algorithm. A sEMG based human-machine interface （HMI） is designed to map facial movement patterns into corresponding control commands. The experimental results show that the method is simple, real-time and have a high recognition rate.展开更多
