Özet

Physical action recognition is a hot topic in human-machine interactions. It has potential uses in helping disabled people and in various robotic applications. Electromyography (EMG) signals measure the electrical activity of the muscular systems involved in physical actions. In this chapter, an efficient approach is developed for physical action recognition in humans based on EMG signals. The proposed method is composed of signal decomposition, feature extraction and feature classification. The signal decomposition is carried out using the wavelet packet transform (WPT). The WPT successively decomposes an input signal into its approximation and detail coefficients, which offers a more productive signal analysis. A one-dimensional local binary pattern (LBP) is used to code the approximation and detail coefficients of the decomposed EMG signals. The histogram of the LBP is used as the feature vectors of the EMG physical action classes. The support vector machine (SVM), decision tree, linear discriminant, k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), boosted and bagged tree ensemble classifiers are used in the classification stage. A dataset taken from the UCI machine learning repository is used in the experiments. The Delsys EMG apparatus, which has eight electrodes, is used to record the surface EMG signals. Each class of the dataset contains three male subjects and one female subject. The dataset contains ten physical actions, namely hugging, jumping, bowing, clapping, handshaking, running, sitting, standing, walking and waving. The experiments are carried out on each electrode with a ten-fold cross-validation test, and the average accuracy score is calculated. The experimental results show that the proposed method is quite efficient in EMG signal classification. The calculated average accuracy is 100% for each electrode.
