Features selection and classification to estimate elbow movements

[摘要] In this paper, we propose a novel method to estimate the elbow motion, through the features extracted from electromyography (EMG) signals. The features values are normalized and then compared to identify potential relationships between the EMG signal and the kinematic information as angle and angular velocity. We propose and implement a method to select the best set of features, maximizing the distance between the features that correspond to flexion and extension movements. Finally, we test the selected features as inputs to a non-linear support vector machine in the presence of non-idealistic conditions, obtaining an accuracy of 99.79% in the motion estimation results.
