Abstract:Deep learning-based surface electromyography (sEMG) gesture recognition is frequently bottlenecked by data scarcity and limited subject diversity. While synthetic data generation via Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion models has emerged as a promising augmentation strategy, these approaches often face challenges regarding training stability or inference efficiency. To bridge this gap, we propose EMGFlow, a conditional sEMG generation framework. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the application of Flow Matching (FM) and continuous-time generative modeling in the sEMG domain. To validate EMGFlow across three benchmark sEMG datasets, we employ a unified evaluation protocol integrating feature-based fidelity, distributional geometry, and downstream utility. Extensive evaluations show that EMGFlow outperforms conventional augmentation and GAN baselines, and provides stronger standalone utility than the diffusion baselines considered here under the train-on-synthetic test-on-real (TSTR) protocol. Furthermore, by optimizing generation dynamics through advanced numerical solvers and targeted time sampling, EMGFlow achieves improved quality-efficiency trade-offs. Taken together, these results suggest that Flow Matching is a promising and efficient paradigm for addressing data bottlenecks in myoelectric control systems.
