An innovative deep learning-driven technique for restoration of lost high-density surface electromyography signals
摘要
High-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) plays a crucial role in medical diagnostics, prosthetic control, and human-machine interactions. Compared to traditional bipolar sEMG, HD-sEMG employs smaller electrode spacing and sizes. This configuration not only reduces the signal collection area but also increases sensitivity to individual variations in skin impedance. Additionally, smaller high-density electrodes are more susceptible to environmental electromagnetic interference, thereby increasing the risk of signal loss and limiting the further development and application of HD-sEMG technology. To address this issue, this study introduces a novel deep learning-based technique specifically designed to restore lost HD-sEMG signals. Through an improved novel convolutional neural network (CNN), our method can reconstruct HD-sEMG signals both efficiently and accurately. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CNN algorithm effectively reconstructs lost HD-sEMG signals with high fidelity. The average root mean square error (RMSE) across all participants was 0.108, the mean absolute error (MAE) was 0.070, and the coefficient of determination (
