Abstract: For real-time applications, the performance in classifying the movements should be as high as possible, and the computational complexity should be low. This paper focuses on the classification of five upper arm movements which can be provided as a control for human-machine interface (HMI) based applications. The conventional machine learning algorithms are used for classification with both time and frequency domain features, and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) outplay others. To further improve the classification accuracy, pretrained CNN architectures are employed which leads to computational complexity and memory requirements. To overcome this, the deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model is introduced with three convolutional layers. To further improve the performance which is the key idea behind real-time applications, a hybrid CNN-KNN model is proposed. Even though the performance is high, the computation costs of the hybrid method are more. Minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR), a feature selection method makes an effort to reduce feature dimensions. As a result, better performance is achieved by our proposed method CNN-KNN with mRMR which reduces computational complexity and memory requirement with a mean prediction accuracy of about 99.05±0.25% with 100 features.
