Incremental learning method in wrist EMG recognition system
In a field of pattern recognition, researches of feature extraction and dimension reduction using the Simple-PCA that is an approximation algorithm of the principal component analysis (PCA) are actively conducted. In such a statistical method, a lot of algorithms that perform incremental learning by using new incremental data exist. For example, there is an algorithm named Incremental PCA for PCA. However, the algorithm capable of performing incremental learning to the Simple-PCA has not been presented yet. In this paper, we propose Incremental Simple-PCA that introduces an incremental learning function to the Simple-PCA. Moreover, the effectiveness of this algorithm is verified in EMG pattern recognition.
