Chinese Sign Language (CSL) subword recognition based on surface electromyography (sEMG), accelerometer (ACC), and gyroscope (GYRO) sensors was explored in this paper. In order to fuse effectively the information of these three kinds of sensors, the classification abilities of sEMG, ACC, GYRO, and t...
