Video demo : Hand gesture recognition from EMG during unrestricted gestures

This early demo shows my latest results of hand gesture recognition from 8 EMG signals and a single gyroscope.

I’m using the MindRove EMG armband for data acquisition.

Before recording the video, I collected about 10 minutes of labeled training data using a LeapMotion camera.

I then trained a machine learning model (details to be published) and ran inference without relocating the sensors.

Journal Paper: Linear Non-Conservative Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Cross-Subject Emg Gesture Recognition

Image
In this paper, we introduce the novel LDA-KM-DA algorithm — a non-conservative unsupervised domain adaptation method designed to improve EMG-based hand gesture recognition across different subjects. The non-conservative nature of the method means the model is adapted using only samples from the test domain and initial pseudo-labels from source domains . This results in higher accuracy than comparable state-of-the-art approaches. ▶️ See it in action: Live Demo Illustration of LDA-KM-DA 📄 Read More Here: Colot, M. , Simar, C., Cebolla Alvarez, A.

Video Demo : Hand Gesture Recognition from EMG with Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Image
In this video, you can see a demonstration of my algorithm LDA-KM-DA , which performs non-conservative unsupervised domain adaptation to adapt an EMG-based hand gesture recognition model from a set of training subjects to a new test user. Initially, the model performs poorly. But as it processes more EMG data, it quickly learns and improves — and by the end, gesture recognition is nearly perfect . 🔗 Learn more: Full Article
