Comparative Analysis of Intellectual Methods for Muscular Contraction Interpretation for Gesture Interface Implementation

Abstract

The paper considers comparative analysis results of the machine learning methods used for the gesture recognition based on the surface single-channel electromyography (sEMG) data. The data were processed using multilayer perceptron, support vector machine, decision tree ensemble (Random Forest) and logistic regression for the chosen four gesture types. The conclusion was derived on the analysis efficiency of these methods using commonly recommended accuracy metrics.
