Utilized wavelet thresholding techniques, specifically Stein unbiased risk (SURE) estimator and adaptive Bayes estimator.

Employed various mother wavelets and decomposition levels for sEMG signal processing.

Extracted sEMG signals from three distinct hand movements to optimize estimation parameters.

Integrated the denoised sEMG signals into a pattern recognition system to classify eight different hand movements.

Main Results:

The wavelet-based estimation technique, particularly using the SURE thresholding approach, effectively purified sEMG signals.
The denoised sEMG signals demonstrated improved quality for subsequent analysis.
The application of the SURE thresholding method led to considerable improvements in hand movement recognition accuracy.

Conclusions:

Wavelet thresholding, especially the SURE estimator, is a suitable method for noise reduction in sEMG signals.
The proposed denoising technique enhances the reliability of sEMG data for applications like hand movement recognition.
This advancement offers a promising solution for cleaner sEMG signal acquisition and processing.
