Abstract
Recent advances in wearable technologies have led to the development of new modalities for human-machine interaction such as gesture-based interaction via surface electromyograph (EMG). An important challenge when performing EMG gesture recognition is to temporally segment the individual gestures from continuously recorded time-series data. This paper proposes an approach for EMG data segmentation, by formulating the segmentation problem as a classification task, where a classifier is used to label each data point as either a segment point or a non-segment point. The proposed EMG segmentation approach is used to recognize 9 hand gestures from forearm EMG data of 10 participants and a balanced accuracy of 83 % is achieved.
