Abstract

In this study we introduce and demystify a novel signal pattern recognition method, Spectral Collaborative Representation based Classification (SCRC) and demonstrate its application for recognition of hand gestures and postures using Electromyography sensors. A recently released Thalmic Labs MYO armband is used to gather muscle electromyography signals. Along with the new signal pattern classification algorithm, we also introduce a training approach which implicitly embeds the gesture boundaries in a training dictionary that allows continous gesture and posture recognition. The worst recognition accuracy we obtained for a set of experiments is over 97% which is the highest recognition results in the literature where bio-signals are used.
