Sign language communication between Japanese-Korean and Japanese-Portuguese using CG animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a sign language communication between different languages such as Japanese-Korean and Japanese-Portuguese using CG animation of sign language based on the intelligent image communication method. For this purpose sign language animation is produced using data of gesture or text data expressing sign language. In the production process of CG animation of sign language, MATLAB and LIFO language are used, where MATLAB is useful for three-dimensional signal processing of gestures and for displaying animation of sign language. On the other hand LIFO language, which is a descendant of the LISP and FORTH language families, is developed and used to produce live CG animations, resulting in a high-speed interactive system of designing and displaying sign language animations. A simple experiment was conducted to translate Japanese sign language into Korean and Portuguese sign languages using the developed CG animation system .

متن کاملSign Language Synthesis for the Mobile Environments
This paper describes the synthesis of sign-language animation for mobile environments. Sign language is synthesized by using either the motion-capture or motion-primitive method. An editing system can add facial expressions, mouth shapes and gestures to the sign-language CG animation. Sign-language animation is displayed on PDA screens to inform the user of his/her mobile environment.
