Extraction of potential electromyography (EMG) features has become one of the important roles in EMG pattern recognition. In this paper, two EMG features, namely, enhanced wavelength (EWL) and enhanced mean absolute value (EMAV) are proposed. The EWL and EMAV are the modified version of wavelength (...
