Nadaraya–Watson Time Series Early Classification for Gesture Recognition
摘要
The prediction of gestures in shared public spaces is important not only to ensure good functionality of agents but also the safety of humans and their acceptance of the hybrid society concept. In this context, surface electromyography (sEMG) combined with inertial measurement unit (IMU) signals is investigated in this work to predict dynamic hand gestures. Our proposed algorithm is designed to make predictions, while these signals are being observed, combining a Nadaraya–Watson kernel estimator and an entropy-based decision function. We not only achieve a high accuracy, but also a significant earliness of prediction.
