On the Benefit of FMG and EMG Sensor Fusion for Gesture Recognition Using Cross-Subject Validation.

Hand gestures are a natural form of human communication, making gesture recognition a sensible approach for intuitive human-computer interaction. Wearable sensors on the forearm can be used to detect the muscle contractions that generate these gestures, but classification approaches relying on a single measured modality lack accuracy and robustness. In this work, we analyze sensor fusion of force myography (FMG) and electromyography (EMG) for gesture recognition.
