What is it about?

A classification framework for hand gestures using Electromyography (EMG) signals in prosthetic hands is presented. Leveraging the multi-scale characteristics and temporal nature of EMG signals, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to extract multi-scale features and classify them with spatial-temporal attention.

Why is it important?

The proposed model achieves classification accuracies of 93.4%, 92.8%, 91.3%, and 94.1% for Ninapro DB1, DB2, DB5, and DB7 respectively, thereby enhancing the confidence of prosthetic hand users.

Perspectives

This innovative approach capitalizes on the intricate multi-scale characteristics and temporal dynamics inherent in EMG signals. By employing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the framework effectively extracts multi-scale features and employs spatial-temporal attention for classification.
