Abstract

Feature extraction is an important step of resolving an electromyographic (EMG) signal into its component motor unit potential trains, commonly known as EMG decomposition. Until now, different features have been used to represent motor unit potentials (MUPs) and improve decomposition processing time and accuracy, but a major limitation is that no systematic comparison of these features exists. In an EMG decomposition system, like any pattern recognition system, the features used for representing MUPs play an important role in the overall performance of the system. A cross comparison of the feature extraction methods used in EMG signal decomposition can assist in choosing the best features for representing MUPs and ultimately may improve EMG decomposition results. This paper presents a survey and cross comparison of these feature extraction methods. Decomposability index, classification accuracy of a -nearest neighbors classifier, and class-feature mutual information were employed for evaluating the discriminative power of various feature extraction techniques commonly used in the literature including time domain, morphological, frequency domain, and discrete wavelets. In terms of data, 45 simulated and 82 real EMG signals were used. Results showed that among time domain features, the first derivative of time samples exhibit the best separability. For morphological features, slope analysis provided the most discriminative power. Discrete Fourier transform coefficients offered the best separability among frequency domain features. However, neither morphological nor frequency domain techniques outperformed time domain features. The detail 4 coefficients in a discrete wavelets decomposition exceeded in evaluation measures when compared with other feature extraction techniques. Using principal component analysis slightly improved the results, but it is time consuming. Overall, considering computation time and discriminative ability, the first derivative of time samples might be efficient in representing MUPs in EMG decomposition and there is no need for sophisticated feature extraction methods.
