Description
Summary:Electromyogram (EMG) signals cannot be forged and have the advantage of being able to change the registered data as they are characterized by the waveform, which varies depending on the gesture. In this paper, a two-step biometrics method was proposed using EMG signals based on a convolutional neural network–long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) network. After preprocessing of the EMG signals, the time domain features and LSTM network were used to examine whether the gesture matched, and single biometrics was performed if the gesture matched. In single biometrics, EMG signals were converted into a two-dimensional spectrogram, and training and classification were performed through the CNN-LSTM network. Data fusion of the gesture recognition and single biometrics was performed in the form of an AND. The experiment used Ninapro EMG signal data as the proposed two-step biometrics method, and the results showed 83.91% gesture recognition performance and 99.17% single biometrics performance. In addition, the false acceptance rate (FAR) was observed to have been reduced by 64.7% through data fusion.
