Generation of modifier representation in sign animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the Japanese-to-JSL (Japanese Sign Language) translators utilize CG (Computer Graphics) animation to present translation results. However, foregoing systems cannot produce natural and legible sign expressions for the Deaf, because they are based on word-for-word translation. Our research aims to produce animation including proper modifier representation, which can express nuances of original sentences. This paper proposes a method to include modifier representation into animations automatically.

متن کاملAnalysis for Synthesis: Investigating Corpora for Supporting the Automatic Generation of Role Shift
In signed languages, role shift is a process that can facilitate the description of statements, actions or thoughts of someone other than the person who is signing, and sign synthesis systems must be able to automatically create animations that portray it effectively. Animation is only as good as the data used to create it, which is the motivation for using corpus analyses when developing new t...

This article describes an architecture for translating speech into Spanish Sign Language (SSL). The architecture proposed is made up of four modules: speech recognizer, semantic analysis, gesture sequence generation and gesture playing. For the speech recognizer and the semantic analysis modules, we use software developed by IBM and CSLR (Center for Spoken Language Research at University of Col...
