چکیده
This work presents a computational model (XML) of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), based on its phonology. The model was used to create a sample of representative signs to aid the recording of a base of videos whose aim is to support the development of tools to support genuine social inclusion of the deaf.

This paper presents an overview of current work on the recognition of sign language and a prototype of a simple editor for a small subset of the Brazilian Sign Language, LIBRAS. Handshape based alphabetical signs, are captured by a single digital camera, processed on-line by using computational vision techniques and converted to the corresponding Latin letter. The development of such prototype ...
متن کاملLuz, Câmera, Libras!: How a Mobile Game Can Improve the Learning of Sign Languages
There is a natural communication barrier between hearing and nonhearing people, and one of the reasons is the lack of knowledge about sign languages. This paper presents a study about a mobile application for learning and practicing the Brazilian sign language (Libras). The application consists of a guessing game in which two players must guess each other’s signs. For two months, the data colle...
متن کاملA real-time system to recognize static gestures of Brazilian sign language (libras) alphabet using Kinect
In this paper we present a system called Gesture User Interface (GestureUI) to recognize static gestures of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) in real-time out of a continuous video stream using the depth information captured by a Kinect controller. We focus on handling small sets of gestures (A,E,I,O,U) and (B,C,F,L,V), processing them in two steps: Segmentation and Classification. For the S...
