Abstract
Gesture recognition through surface electromyography (sEMG) provides a new method for the control algorithm of bionic limbs, which is a promising technology in the field of human-computer interaction. However, subject specificity of sEMG along with the offset of the electrode makes it challenging to develop a model that can quickly adapt to new subjects. In view of this, we introduce a new deep neural network called CSAC-Net. Firstly, we extract the time-frequency feature from the raw signal, which contains rich information. Secondly, we design a convolutional neural network supplemented by an attention mechanism for further feature extraction. Additionally, we propose to utilize model-agnostic meta-learning to adapt to new subjects and this learning strategy achieves better results than the state-of-the-art methods. By the basic experiment on CapgMyo and three ablation studies, we demonstrate the advancement of CSAC-Net.
