Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Mechanomyography (MMG) signal analysis offers potential for hand movement classification.
  • Accurate classification is crucial for human-machine interaction and wearable devices.
  • Optimizing machine learning models is key to improving MMG-based recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of swarm intelligence algorithms in optimizing Support Vector Machines (SVM) for hand movement pattern recognition using MMG signals.
  • To compare the performance of different feature extraction methods (Time Domain, Wavelet Packet Node Energy, Frequency Domain, Convolutional Neural Network) when combined with optimized SVM.
  • To identify the optimal combination of feature extraction and optimization algorithm for accurate and efficient hand movement classification.

Main Methods:

  • Extracted Time Domain (TD), Wavelet Packet Node Energy (WPNE), Frequency Domain (FD), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) features from MMG signals.
  • Employed three swarm intelligence algorithms: Bald Eagle Search (BES), Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA), and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) to optimize SVM classifiers.
  • Trained and tested the optimized SVM models using the different feature sets for hand movement recognition.

Main Results:

  • Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) demonstrated lower time consumption compared to BES and SSA.
  • The combination of GWO-optimized SVM with TD+FD features achieved a classification accuracy of 93.55%, surpassing other tested methods.
  • CNN feature extraction offered domain knowledge independence.
  • GWO-SVM with TD+FD features proved superior for classifying small MMG datasets.

Conclusions:

  • Swarm intelligence optimization, particularly GWO, significantly enhances SVM performance for MMG-based hand movement classification.
  • Combining TD and FD features with GWO-SVM offers a highly accurate and efficient approach for recognizing hand movements, especially with limited data.
  • The findings support the application of optimized MMG signal analysis in advanced human-machine interfaces and wearable technology.
