Signal Processing Application

EXPERIMENT 10: Signal Processing Application

The aim of this experiment was to implement any Signal Processing operation on one dimensional Signal.
We formed a group of 5 students. The members were Nikita Pagar, Golappagouda Patil, Anushree Mhatre, Apoorva Raut and Sahil Rai. The topic we selected was “Detection and Processing of Electromyography signals”.
The title of the paper is “Machine Learning Algorithms for Characterization of EMG Signals” written by Bekir Karlık, Member, IACSIT.
The patent selected was “Wearable electromyography-based controllers for human-computer interface”.

Description: A "Wearable Electromyography-Based Controller" includes a plurality of Electromyography (EMG) sensors and provides a wired or wireless human-computer interface (HCl) for interacting with computing systems and attached devices via electrical signals generated by specific movement of the user's muscles.

Application: Simulate one type of EMG signal in MATLAB.                                                                                       Compare that signal with existing samples using cross-correlation.                                                        If the signal is similar to the samples available then display the output.
This was less of an experiment and more of research but nevertheless it was a wonderful experience. We got to read a lot of literature on DSPP which we otherwise would not have read. We also learned about the application of DSPP in the real-world and how it affects our lives.
