Surface electromyogram (EMG) signals are a key component in myoelectric control systems utilized in modern prosthetic devices. Despite extensive study into EMG gesture detection techniques for hand and arm gestures, most prosthetic devices rely on direct control approaches that are often confined to single movements. The purpose of this paper is to investigate various feature extraction techniques and to compare various machine learning algorithms, window sizes to identify the most suitable algorithm, window size for real-time gesture recognition. For this purpose, a publicly available pre-labeled 2-channel EMG dataset was used as EMG signals. Feature sets for each window size were extracted using various feature extraction techniques and fed into support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, ensemble learning, and feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) classifiers. The feed-forward neural networks classifier was determined to be the best classifier based on its accuracies, sizes, and prediction delays for each window size. The maximum accuracy of the feed-forward ANN classifier was ≈87% with a 300-millisecond window size. the use of the majority voting technique was considered in terms of the number of votes and the window sizes.

The smart teaching mode overcomes the shortcomings of traditional teaching online and offline, but there are certain deficiencies in the real-time feature extraction of teachers and students. In view of this, this study uses the particle swarm image recognition and deep learning technology to process the intelligent classroom video teaching image and extracts the classroom task features in real time and sends them to the teacher. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the premature convergence of the standard particle swarm optimization algorithm, an improved strategy for multiple particle swarm optimization algorithms is proposed. In order to improve the premature problem in the search performance algorithm of PSO algorithm, this paper combines the algorithm with the useful attributes of other algorithms to improve the particle diversity in the algorithm, enhance the global search ability of the particle, and achieve effective feature extraction. The research indicates that the method proposed in this paper has certain practical effects and can provide theoretical reference for subsequent related research.
