Surface electromyography (sEMG), as a key technology of non-invasive muscle computer interface, is an important method of human-computer interaction. We proposed a CNN-IndRNN (Convolutional Neural Network-Independent Recurrent Neural Network) hybrid algorithm to analyse sEMG signals and classify hand gestures. Ninapro’s dataset of 10 volunteers was used to develop the model, and by using only one time-domain feature (root mean square of sEMG), an average accuracy of 87.43% on 18 gestures is achieved. The proposed algorithm obtains a state-of-the-art classification performance with a significantly reduced model. In order to verify the robustness of the CNN-IndRNN model, a compact real¬time recognition system was constructed. The system was based on open-source hardware (OpenBCI) and a custom Python-based software. Results show that the 10-subject rock-paper-scissors gesture recognition accuracy reaches 99.1%.

Many mobile devices embed nowadays inertial sensors. This enables new forms of human-computer interaction through the use of gestures (movements performed with the mobile device) as a way of communication. This paper presents an accelerometer-based gesture recognition system for mobile devices which is able to recognize a collection of 10 different hand gestures. The system was conceived to be light and to operate in a user-independent manner in real time. The recognition system was implemented in a smart phone and evaluated through a collection of user tests, which showed a recognition accuracy similar to other state-of-the art techniques and a lower computational complexity. The system was also used to build a human-robot interface that enables controlling a wheeled robot with the gestures made with the mobile phone

In this paper, we propose a novel gesture recognition system based on a smartphone. Due to the limitation of Channel State Information (CSI) extraction equipment, existing WiFi-based gesture recognition is limited to the microcomputer terminal equipped with Intel 5300 or Atheros 9580 network cards. Therefore, accurate gesture recognition can only be performed in an area relatively fixed to the transceiver link. The new gesture recognition system proposed by us breaks this limitation. First, we use nexmon firmware to obtain 256 CSI subcarriers from the bottom layer of the smartphone in IEEE 802.11ac mode on 80 MHz bandwidth to realize the gesture recognition system’s mobility. Second, we adopt the cross-correlation method to integrate the extracted CSI features in the time and frequency domain to reduce the influence of changes in the smartphone location. Third, we use a new improved DTW algorithm to classify and recognize gestures. We implemented vast experiments to verify the system’s recognition accuracy at different distances in different directions and environments. The results show that the system can effectively improve the recognition accuracy.

In recent years, surface electromyography (sEMG)-based human–computer interaction has been developed to improve the quality of life for people. Gesture recognition based on the instantaneous values of sEMG has the advantages of accurate prediction and low latency. However, the low generalization ability of the hand gesture recognition method limits its application to new subjects and new hand gestures, and brings a heavy training burden. For this reason, based on a convolutional neural network, a transfer learning (TL) strategy for instantaneous gesture recognition is proposed to improve the generalization performance of the target network. CapgMyo and NinaPro DB1 are used to evaluate the validity of our proposed strategy. Compared with the non-transfer learning (non-TL) strategy, our proposed strategy improves the average accuracy of new subject and new gesture recognition by 18.7% and 8.74%, respectively, when up to three repeated gestures are employed. The TL strategy reduces the training time by a factor of three. Experiments verify the transferability of spatial features and the validity of the proposed strategy in improving the recognition accuracy of new subjects and new gestures, and reducing the training burden. The proposed TL strategy provides an effective way of improving the generalization ability of the gesture recognition system.

Recently, social touch gesture recognition has been considered an important topic for touch modality, which can lead to highly efficient and realistic human-robot interaction. In this paper, a deep convolutional neural network is selected to implement a social touch recognition system for raw input samples (sensor data) only. The touch gesture recognition is performed using a dataset previously measured with numerous subjects that perform varying social gestures. This dataset is dubbed as the corpus of social touch, where touch was performed on a mannequin arm. A leave-one-subject-out cross-validation method is used to evaluate system performance. The proposed method can recognize gestures in nearly real time after acquiring a minimum number of frames (the average range of frame length was from 0.2% to 4.19% from the original frame lengths) with a classification accuracy of 63.7%. The achieved classification accuracy is competitive in terms of the performance of existing algorithms. Furthermore, the proposed system outperforms other classification algorithms in terms of classification ratio and touch recognition time without data preprocessing for the same dataset.

Hand gestures are a kind of nonverbal communication in which visible bodily actions are used to communicate important messages. Recently, hand gesture recognition has received significant attention from the research community for various applications, including advanced driver assistance systems, prosthetic, and robotic control. Therefore, accurate and fast classification of hand gesture is required. In this research, we created a deep neural network as the first step to develop a real-time camera-only hand gesture recognition system without electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We present the system software architecture in a fair amount of details. The proposed system was able to recognize hand signs with an accuracy of 97.31%.

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals have been widely used in human–machine interaction, providing more nature control expedience for external devices. However, due to the instability of sEMG, it is hard to extract consistent sEMG patterns for motion recognition. This paper proposes a dual-flow network to extract the temporal-spatial feature of sEMG for gesture recognition. The proposed network model uses convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory methods (LSTM) to, respectively, extract the spatial feature and temporal feature of sEMG, simultaneously. These features extracted by CNN and LSTM are merged into temporal-spatial feature to form an end-to-end network. A dataset was constructed for testing the performance of the network. In this database, the average recognition accuracy by using our dual-flow model reached 78.31%, which was improved by 6.69% compared to the baseline CNN (71.67%). In addition, NinaPro DB1 is also used to evaluate the proposed methods, receiving 1.86% higher recognition accuracy than the baseline CNN classifier. It is believed that the proposed dual-flow network owns the merit in extracting stable sEMG feature for gesture recognition, and can be further applied into practical applications.

This paper presents the implementation of a Region-based Convolutional Neural Network focused on the recognition and localization of hand gestures, in this case 2 types of gestures: open and closed hand, in order to achieve the recognition of such gestures in dynamic backgrounds. The neural network is trained and validated, achieving a 99.4% validation accuracy in gesture recognition and a 25% average accuracy in RoI localization, which is then tested in real time, where its operation is verified through times taken for recognition, execution behavior through trained and untrained gestures, and complex backgrounds.

We propose a new end-to-end scene recognition framework, called a Recurrent Memorized Attention Network (RMAN) model, which performs object-based scene classification by recurrently locating and memorizing objects in the image. Based on the proposed framework, we introduce a multi-task mechanism that contiguously attends on the different essential objects in a scene image and recurrently performs memory fusion of the features of object focused by an attention model to improve the scene recognition accuracy. The experimental results show that the RMAN model has achieved better classification performance on the constructed dataset and two public scene datasets, surpassing state-of-the-art image scene recognition approaches.
