Abstract:
An improved linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) algorithm has been proposed by combining LMMSE framework and second-order difference waveform for multi-channel surface electromyography (sEMG) decomposition. The LMMSE method is first utilized to estimate the initial firing pattern, and then the convex shape of second-order difference waveform is conducted to determine the new firing pattern. Results from both simulations and experiments confirm that the proposed algorithm in this paper can decompose sEMG signals with high accuracy and efficiency.
