Abstract

This is the third chapter of this book dedicated to EMG biometrics modality. The purpose is to highlight a Multi-Channel technique based on a High Density sEMG (HD-sEMG) acquisition. In fact, HD-sEMG recording systems can be used to overcome the limitation of classical bipolar and monopolar sEMG recording systems. Consequently, in the considered concept, HD-sEMG system generates 64 EMG signals from which an EMG image is constructed and processed. Thereupon, it will be explained how one can deploy this technique in a biometric scheme.
