Abstract
Surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals are widely used to control the myoelectric prosthetic arm for amputees. In this study, the authors investigated the usefulness of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) features from multiple levels of approximation and detail coefficients obtained from sEMG signals. DWT is used for de-noising as well as feature extraction in this study and further tested using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Classifier. The performance of SVM classifier is compared with ANN classifier. The classification accuracy of SVM classifiers was found better as compared to ANN in term of speed and robustness. In the first section of paper the authors presented the introduction related to the study. The experimental set-up for recording surface EMG signal is presented in section 2. In section 3 the experimental results are depicted and in section 4 the results are concluded.
