ICA-CNN: Gesture Recognition Using CNN With Improved Channel Attention Mechanism and Multimodal Signals

Abstract

As a promising technology in human–computer interface (HCI), deep learning has good application prospects for gesture recognition from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. However, mainstream network structures with satisfactory recognition accuracy are too complex to be deployed on edge devices. The lightweight neural network tends to have difficulty in fulfilling the requirement of recognition accuracy with limited computing power. In order to make the neural network adapt to different applications as much as possible, we propose a flexible and modular method based on sEMG and acceleration signals for gesture recognition. Moreover, a lightweight convolutional neural network with the improved channel attention mechanism (ICA-CNN) can achieve satisfactory performance in recognition accuracy or inference speed for different applications. The experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of the proposed method on 49 gestures is 94.24% using sEMG and acceleration signals, much higher than the accuracy of the method only using sEMG signals. In addition, the single inference of the proposed method takes only 38.6 ms on the CPU.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
