Estimation of conduction velocity (CV) is an important task in the analysis of surface electromyography (sEMG). The problem can be framed as estimation of a time-varying delay (TVD) between electrode recordings. In this paper we present an algorithm which incorporates information from multiple electrodes into a single TVD estimation. The algorithm uses a common all-pass filter to relate two groups of signals at a local level. We also address a current limitation of CV estimators by providing an automated way of identifying the innervation zone from a set of electrode recordings, thus allowing incorporation of the entire array into the estimation. We validate the algorithm on both synthetic and real sEMG data with results showing the proposed algorithm is both robust and accurate.
