METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING SIGN LANGUAGE USING ELECTROMYOGRAM SENSOR AND GYRO SENSOR

摘要

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for recognizing sign language using an electromyogram sensor and a gyro sensor. The method for recognizing sign language using the electromyogram sensor and the gyro sensor includes the steps of: (a) receiving a gyro measurement signal and an electromyogram measurement signal from the gyro sensor and the electromyogram sensor which are attached to a person's body to be measured; (b) determining whether the gyro measurement signal belongs to any one group among the groups clustered with similar sign language operations; (c) acquiring a Gaussian model for the electromyogram measurement signal; and (d) recognizing a candidate sign language operation corresponding to a Gaussian candidate model considered to be the closest to the acquired Gaussian model, as the sign language operation of the person to be measured by comparing the acquired Gaussian model with the Gaussian candidate model for the candidate sign language operations which belong to the group determined in the (b) step.
