Lightweight Test-Time Adaptation for EMG-Based Gesture Recognition

arXiv:2601. 04181v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reliable long-term decoding of gestures from surface electromyography (EMG) is hindered by signal drift caused by electrode displacement, muscle fatigue, and/or posture changes.

Pose2Muscle: Structured Spatio-Temporal Decoding for Discrete Muscle Activity Estimation from Human Pose

Pose2Muscle is a pose-driven framework that estimates discrete muscle activity states without requiring surface electromyography (sEMG) during inference. It reformulates muscle estimation as a structured prediction problem, using multi-scale spatio-temporal attention and a directed acyclic graph-based decoder to capture motion patterns and maintain multiple candidate hypotheses. The authors introduce the PoseEMG-43 dataset, comprising 2,992 movement instances from 43 daily-life actions performed by 14 participants, and demonstrate that Pose2Muscle outperforms baseline methods with high accuracy and correlation metrics.
