Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to recognize nine kinds of motion for a multifunction myoelectric hand, acquiring four channel EMG signals from electrodes placed on the forearm. To analyze EMG with properties of nonstationary signal, time-frequency features are extracted by wavelet packet transform. For dimensionality reduction and nonlinear mapping of the features, we also propose a feature projection composed of PCA and SOFM. The dimensionality reduction by PCA simplifies the structure of the classifier, and reduces processing time for the pattern recognition. The nonlinear mapping by SOFM transforms the PCA-reduced features to a new feature space with high class separability. Finally a multilayer neural network is employed as the pattern classifier. From experimental results, we show that the proposed method enhances the recognition accuracy, and makes it possible to implement a real-time pattern recognition.

본 논문에서는 다기능 근전의수를 제어하기 위해 전완에서 취득한 4 채널의 근전도로부터 9 가지 동작을 인식하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 비정상 신호특성을 가진 근전도를 해석하기 위해서 시간-주파수 영역에서 표현되는 특징벡터를 웨이블렛 패킷변환을 통해 추출한다. 높은 차원을 가지는 시간-주파수 특징벡터에 대하여 차원축소와 비선형변환을 수행하기 위해 PCA와 SOFM으로 구성된 특징투영 방법을 제안한다. PCA를 이용한 차원축소는 패턴분류기의 구조를 단순화하고 패턴인식을 위한 계산시간을 단축할 수 있다. SOFM을 이용한 비선형변환은 PCA에 의해 차원이 축소된 특징벡터를 새로운 공간으로 투영함으로써 클래스 분리도를 향상시킨다. 마지막으로 각 동작은 패턴분류기인 다층 신경회로망에 의해 인식된다. 실험 결과로부터 제안한 방법이 높은 인식률을 보임과 동시에 연속적인 패턴인식을 위한 실시간 구현이 가능함을 보인다.
