This study proposes a hand gesture classification system using Hilbert Huang Transform to extract features from surface electromyography signals, which are then fed into a Deep Neural Network for high-accuracy classification for prosthetic hand control.

The paper studied a hand gesture classification system intended for smart control of prosthetic hands, using surface electromyography (sEMG) signals from experimental recordings. Signal attributes were extracted via Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT) and then fed into a deep neural network (DNN) classifier to perform gesture recognition, with results reporting higher classification accuracy than other compared techniques. A key caveat explicitly stated is that the work was initially released as a preprint and is not described as peer-reviewed in that preprint context. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, classification of hand gestures for the smart control of prosthetic hands is proposed. The surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals are used for classifying the hand gestures. The important attributes of the signal are extracted by finding Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT). These features are given as input to the Deep Neural Network (DNN) classifier for further classification. The experimental results show that high classification accuracy can be achieved for the proposed method compared to the other techniques.
