Abstract

Objectives

To design and develop a classifier, named Sewing Driving Training based Optimization-Deep Residual Network (SDTO_DRN) for hand gesture recognition.

Methods

The electrical activity of forearm muscles generates the signals that can be captured with Surface Electromyography (sEMG) sensors and includes meaningful data for decoding both muscle actions and hand movement. This research develops an efficacious scheme for hand gesture recognition using SDTO_DRN. Here, signal pre-processing is done through Gaussian filtering. Thereafter, desired and appropriate features are extracted. Following that, effective features are chosen using SDTO. At last, hand gesture identification is accomplished based on DRN and this network is effectively fine-tuned by SDTO, which is a combination of Sewing Training Based Optimization (STBO) and Driving Training Based Optimization (DTBO). The datasets employed for the implementation of this work are MyoUP Dataset and putEMG: sEMG Gesture and Force Recognition Dataset.

Results

The designed SDTO_DRN model has gained superior performance with magnificent results by delivering a maximum accuracy of 0.943, True Positive Rate (TPR) of 0.929, True Negative Rate (TNR) of 0.919, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 0.924, and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of 0.924.

Conclusions

The hand gesture recognition using the proposed model is accurate and improves the effectiveness of the recognition.
