description Abstract User identification systems based on electromyogram (EMG) signals, generated inside the body in different signal patterns and exhibiting individual characteristics based on muscle development and activity, are being actively researched. However, nonlinear and abnormal signals constrain conventional user identification using EMG signals in improving accuracy by using the 1-D feature from each time and frequency domain. Therefore, multidimensional features containing time–frequency information extracted from EMG signals have attracted much attention to improving identification accuracy. We propose a user identification system using constant Q transform (CQT) based 2D features whose time–frequency resolution is customized according to EMG signals. The proposed user identification system comprises data preprocessing, CQT-based 2D image conversion, convolutional feature extraction, and classification by convolutional neural network (CNN). The experimental results showed that the accuracy of the proposed user identification system using CQT-based 2D spectrograms was 97.5%, an improvement of 15.4% and 2.1% compared to the accuracy of 1D features and short-time Fourier transform (STFT) based user identification, respectively.
