Abstract

In this paper, we aim for construction of a high-speed and high-accurate EMG recognition system using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for feature extraction, simple PCA (SPCA) for feature compression, and a neural network (NN) for recognition. Furthermore, we reduce the number of units in an input layer of NN using genetic algorithms (GA) for EMG. From results of computer simulation, it is shown that our approach is effective for improvement in recognition accuracy and speed.
