Narrow Results

The objective of the work is to investigate the classification of different movements based on the surface electromyogram (SEMG) pattern recognition method. The testing was conducted for four arm movements using several experiments with artificial neural network classification scheme. Six time domain features were extracted and consequently classification was implemented using back propagation neural classifier (BPNC). Further, the realization of projected network was verified using cross validation (CV) process; hence ANOVA algorithm was carried out. Performance of the network is analyzed by considering mean square error (MSE) value. A comparison was performed between the extracted features and back propagation network results reported in the literature. The concurrent result indicates the significance of proposed network with classification accuracy (CA) of 100% recorded from two channels, while analysis of variance technique helps in investigating the effectiveness of classified signal for recognition tasks.
