Abstract [eng] In this paper, a novel approach using a Henry Gas Solubility-based Stacked Convolutional Neural Network (HGS-SCNN) for hand gesture recognition using surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors is proposed. The stacked architecture of the CNN model helps to capture both low-level and high-level features, enabling effective representation learning. To begin, we generated a dataset comprising 600 samples of hand gestures. Next, we applied the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) technique to extract features from the filtered sEMG signal. This step allowed us to capture both spatial and frequency information, enhancing the discriminative power of the extracted features. Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed HGS-SCNN model. In addition, the obtained results are compared with state-of-the-art techniques, namely AOA-SCNN, GWO-SCNN, and WOA-SCNN. The comparative analysis demonstrates that the HGS-SCNN outperforms these existing methods, achieving an impressive accuracy of 99.3%. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of our proposed approach in accurately detecting hand gestures. The combination of DWT-based feature extraction and the HGS-SCNN model offers robust and reliable hand gesture recognition, thereby opening new possibilities for intuitive human-machine interaction and applications requiring gesture-based control.
