Notational Representation of Sign Language: A Structural Description of Hand Configuration
نویسنده
چکیده
Abst rac t . A universal description method of sign language is the most fundamental requirement in sign language research. Although a number of methods including notations have been invented, few are in substantial use for describing general sign languages. In this paper, we present structural description method of hand configuration based on human hand structure and geometric sign features, and explain with a series of arguments that this method has potential as a universal description method of sign language.

In this paper, the system of language and architecture has been studied in three levels of elemental, structural and semantic in cases of traditional and modern mosques in Iran through the method of analyzing the content of texts and in a conceptual model. Then, in a comparative method, the common patterns of these systems have been explained at all three levels. The common features at the elem...
متن کاملPersian sign language detection based on normalized depth image information
There are many reports of using the Kinect to detect hand and finger gestures after release of device by Microsoft. The depth information is mostly used to separate the hand image in the two-dimension of RGB domain. This paper proposes a method in which the depth information plays a more dominant role. Using a threshold in depth space first the hand template is extracted. Then in 3D domain the ...

Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...

In our paper we present a method for the automatic generation of single German Sign Language glosses from German words. Glosses are often used as a textual description of signs when transcribing Sign Language video data. For a machine translation system from German to German Sign Language we apply glosses as an intermediate notational system. Then the automatic generation from given German word...
