Abstract

Pattern recognition scheme is used for discriminating various classes of hand motion with feature extracted from the surface electromyography signals. However, while using a relatively large feature set for classification process, the computational complexity increases tremendously. To overcome this, the paper implements feature selection technique using wrapper evaluation and four different search methods without significantly affecting the classification accuracy. The performance of the features is tested on surface electromyography data collected from seven subjects, with eight classes of movements. Practical results indicate that using feature selection methods can achieve the same accuracy with lesser number of features.
