A Survey of Approaches for Recognizing Hand Gestures Using EMG Signal

Abstract

Researchers have developed diverse methods for detecting hand gestures using EMG signal. The signal of EMG sensor can be measured on a human skin surface. There are two approaches to recognizing hand gestures. One approach is to fuse EMG sensor with others sensors. It is possible to extract various motion features. Other approach uses algorithms that improve the recognition accuracy. We survey two approaches for detecting hand gestures. In future work, we plan to implement the method that can recognize various hand gestures in robust and accurate manner. © 2016 IEEE.
