Head Tracking and Hand Segmentation during Hand over Face Occlusion in Sign Language
This paper presents a method to accurately segment the hand over the face. The similarity of colours and the important variability of the hand shape make it challenging. We propose a method based on the combination of two features: pixel colour and edges orientation. First, a specific skin model is used to find, before occlusion, the face position and the face template. Then, during occlusion t...
متن کاملClassifier Constructions and Morphology in Two Sign Languages
We see then, in Sign, at every level—lexical, grammatical, syntactic—a linguistic use of space: a use that is amazingly complex, for much of what occurs linearly, sequentially, temporally in speech, becomes simultaneous, concurrent, multileveled in Sign. The surface of Sign may appear simple to the eye, like that of gesture or mime, but one soon finds that this is an illusion, and what looks so...
متن کاملVision Based Hand Gesture Recognition for Indian Sign Languages
Sign Language is a language which uses visually transmitted sign patterns to convey meaning by simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientation and movement of the hands to fluently express one's thoughts / communicate with others and is commonly used by the physically impaired people who cannot speak or hear. Automatic Sign Language system requires fast and accurate techniques for identifying...
متن کاملDetecting Hand-Head Occlusions in Sign Language Video
A large body of current linguistic research on sign language is based on analyzing large corpora of video recordings. This requires either manual or automatic annotation of the videos. In this paper we introduce methods for automatically detecting and classifying hand-head occlusions in sign language videos. Linguistically, hand-head occlusions are an important and interesting subject of study ...
متن کاملSign Languages and Compounding
Short abstract Compounding is one of the few sequential word formation processes found across sign languages. We examine the properties of compounds in languages in the visual-gestural modality, showing both similarities to spoken language compounds, as well as a modality-specific type of simultaneous compounding. We also explore the development of compounds in a new sign language, (Al-Sayyid B...
