Gesture Acquisition and Recognition of Sign Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
Differently abled people face a variety of different issue and problems that cut them off from their surroundings. Regardless of all the advancement, we cannot ignore the fact that the conditions provided by the society for the deaf and hard hearing are still far from being perfect. The communication with deaf and hard hearing by means of written text is not as efficient as it might seem at first. This paper discusses sign recognition with particular emphasis on surveying relevant techniques from the areas of recognition approach, problems tackled and hand tracking which can be applied to each task. The main purpose is to help communication between two groups of people, one hearing impaired and one without any hearing disabilities so that the literate deaf and dumb people will get equal position in our society. Sign Language Recognition has become an active area of research nowadays. Existing challenges and future research possibilities are also highlighted.

Applying mean shift and motion detection approaches to hand tracking in sign language
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...
متن کاملSign Language Recognition: State of the Art
Sign language is used by deaf and hard hearing people to exchange information between their own community and with other people. Computer recognition of sign language deals from sign gesture acquisition and continues till text/speech generation. Sign gestures can be classified as static and dynamic. However static gesture recognition is simpler than dynamic gesture recognition but both recognit...

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...

One of the most significant differences between automatic sign language recognition (ASLR) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) is due to the computer vision problems, whereas the corresponding problems in speech signal processing have been solved due to intensive research in the last 30 years. We present our approach where we start from a large vocabulary speech recognition system to profit ...
متن کاملHand Gesture Recognition for Sign Language Recognition: A Review
For deaf and dumb people, Sign language is the only way of communication. With the help of sign language, these physical impaired people express their emotions and thoughts to other person. Since for the common person, it is difficult to understand these language therefore often these physically challenged has to keep the translator along with them to communicate with the world. Hence sign lang...
متن کاملSign Language Recognition in Robot Teleoperation using Centroid Distance Fourier Descriptors
Commanding in robot teleoperation system can be done in several ways, including the use of sign language. In this paper, the use of centroid distance Fourier descriptors as hand shape descriptor in sign language recognition from visually captured hand gesture is considered. The sign language adopts the American Sign Language finger spelling. Only static gestures in the sign language are used. T...
