- 四阶段流程:预处理、特征提取、聚类选姿、模型对比
- 最优窗口200毫秒,选出6个代表性动作,准确率高且稳定
- 神经网络和随机森林表现突出,适合实时假肢控制应用
本研究提出一种针对功能性伸展与抓握动作中上肢表面肌电(sEMG)信号的全面聚类与分类方法。基于NINAPRO DB4数据集(52种手势,多通道记录),设计了四阶段流程:信号预处理、特征提取、通过层次聚类选择手势,以及模型对比评估。预处理采用四阶低通滤波器(0.6 Hz)与希尔伯特包络变换,有效降噪并增强信号清晰度。特征提取生成26个时域与频域指标,经可视化分析、互信息、主成分分析及决策树重要性筛选,最终保留5个关键特征。使用马氏距离进行层次聚类,选出6个兼具生物力学多样性和计算效率的代表性动作。通过稳定性与生理合理性验证,确定200毫秒为最佳时间窗。模型评估分两阶段:使用PyCaret自动比较发现额外树(ET)与人工神经网络(ANN)表现最佳;独立训练确认其稳定性与泛化能力,其中ANN展现持续学习能力,ET则保持稳健一致结果。研究支持开发自适应、低延迟的肌电假肢控制策略,并提供可扩展的实时应用流程。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study presents a comprehensive approach for the clustering and classification of upper-limb surface electromyography (sEMG) signals during functional reach and grasp movements. The methodology was applied to the NINAPRO DB4 dataset, which provides multichannel EMG recordings of 52 gestures. A four-stage pipeline was designed, including signal preprocessing, fea-ture extraction, gesture selection via hierarchical clustering, and comparative model evaluation. Preprocessing involved a fourth-order low-pass filter (0.6 Hz) and Hilbert envelope transformation, effectively reducing noise and enhancing signal clarity. Feature extraction yielded 26 temporal and frequency-domain met-rics, which were later refined using visual analysis, mutual information, principal component analysis, and decision tree importance scores. A final subset of five key features was selected for classification tasks. Gesture selection was per-formed through hierarchical clustering using Mahalanobis distance, resulting in six representative movements that balanced biomechanical diversity and compu-tational efficiency. A 200 ms window was identified as optimal for temporal seg-mentation based on stability and physiological plausibility. Classifier models were evaluated in two stages. Automated comparison using PyCaret identified Extra Trees (ET) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as top performers. Sub-sequent independent training confirmed their stability and generalization capac-ity, with ANN showing progressive learning and ET maintaining robust, con-sistent results. The findings support the implementation of adaptive, low-latency control strategies for myoelectric prostheses and provide a scalable pipeline for future real-time applications.
