چکیده

Hitherto, one major challenge to sign language recognition is how to develop approaches that scale well with increasing vocabulary size. In large vocabulary speech recognition realm, it is effective to use phonemes instead of words as the basic units. This idea can be used in large vocabulary Sign Language recognition, too. In this paper, Etyma are defined to be the smallest unit in a sign language, that is, a unit that has some meaning and distinguishes one sign from the others. They can be seen as phonemes in Sign Language. Two approaches to large vocabulary Chinese Sign Language recognition are discussed in this paper. One uses etyma and the other uses whole signs as the basic units. Two CyberGloves and a Pohelmus 3-D tracker with three receivers positioned on the wrist of CyberGlove and the back are used as input device. Etymonand wordbased recognition systems are introduced, which are designed to recognize 2439 etyma and 5100 signs. And then the experimental results of these two systems are given and analyzed.

Detection and Recognition of Multi-language Traffic Sign Context by Intelligent Driver Assistance Systems

Design of a new intelligent driver assistance system based on traffic sign detection with Persian context is concerned in this paper. The primary aim of this system is to increase the precision of drivers in choosing their path with regard to traffic signs. To achieve this goal, a new framework that implements fuzzy logic was used to detect traffic signs in videos captured along a highway f...

A parallel multi-stream model for sign language recognition

In this paper, the sub-units in each stream are used and embedded in the multi-stream model. In this framework, sign language recognition system was implemented and evaluated. Experiments were carried out for 5177 Chinese signs. The real time isolated recognition rate is 95.1%. For continuous sign recognition, the word correct rate is 91.8%. This has shown that parallel multi-stream model is po...

A Chinese sign language recognition system based on SOFM/SRN/HMM

In sign language recognition (SLR), the major challenges now are developing methods that solve signer-independent continuous sign problems. In this paper, SOFM/HMM is first presented for modeling signer-independent isolated signs. The proposed method uses the self-organizing feature maps (SOFM) as different signers’ feature extractor for continuous hidden Markov models (HMM) so as to transform ...
