Towards Wearable A-Mode Ultrasound Sensing for Real-Time Finger Motion Recognition
Abstract:
It is evident that surface electromyography (sEMG) based human-machine interfaces (HMI) have inherent difficulty in predicting dexterous musculoskeletal movements such as finger motions. This paper is an attempt to investigate a plausible alternative to sEMG, ultrasound-driven HMI, for dexterous motion recognition due to its characteristic of detecting morphological changes of deep muscles and tendons. A multi-channel A-mode ultrasound lightweight device is adopted to evaluate the performance of finger motion recognition; an experiment is designed for both widely acceptable offline and online algorithms with eight able-bodied subjects employed. The experiment result presents that the offline recognition accuracy is up to 98.83% ± 0.79%. The real-time motion completion rate is 95.4% ± 8.7% and online motion selection time is 0.243 ± 0.127 s. The outcomes confirm the feasibility of A-mode ultrasound based wearable HMI and its prosperous applications in prosthetic devices, virtual reality, and remote manipulation.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
