Vision-Based Recognition of Hand Shapes in Taiwanese Sign Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pixel-based shape representation has been sensitive to rotation. In this paper, we propose a pixel-based descriptor that is invariant with rotation and scale for the hand shape recognition in Taiwanese Sign Language (TSL). Based on the property that a hand shape is characteristic of a unique pointing direction, angle normalization is used to meet the rotation-invariant requirement. With angle normalization, the traces of class covariance matrices have been reduced almost all over the classes of hand shapes, implying a less overlap between classes. It is confirmed by the experiments that show an increase in recognition accuracy.

Hand Motion Recognition for the Vision-based Taiwanese Sign Language Interpretation
In this paper we present a system to recognize the hand motion of Taiwanese Sign Language (TSL) using the Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) through a vision-based interface. Our hand motion recognition system consists of four phases: construction of color model, hand tracking, trajectory representation, and recognition. Our hand tracking can accurately track the hand positions. Since our system is re...

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
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 کاملApplying 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...
