Abstract:  In this study, a new biometric method based on surface EMG (SEMG) signals in response to a fixed force is developed. The main goal is to study the possibility of a contactless verification of individuals by using SEMG signals. This method based on estimating the power spectral density (PSD) of the SEMG signals, and then extracting frequency parameters that will be used in radial basis function (RBF) to classify individuals. At fixed intensity of Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC), SEMG signals have shown good performance and high specify regardless of fatigue or electrode displacement. This role may have vital impact on the biometric field.
Keywords: SEMG, Biometrics, PSD, RBF, MVC, Classification.
