Signer Adaptation Based on Etyma for Large Vocabulary Chinese Sign Language Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sign language recognition (SLR) with large vocabulary and signer independency is valuable and is still a big challenge. Signer adaptation is an important solution to signer independent SLR. In this paper, we present a method of etyma-based signer adaptation for large vocabulary Chinese SLR. Popular adaptation techniques including Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression (MLLR) and Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) algorithms are used. Our approach can gain comparative results with that of using words, but we only require less than half data.

A Comparison Between Etymon- and Word-Based Chinese Sign Language Recognition Systems
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 lang...

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...

This work presents a statistical recognition approach performing large vocabulary continuous sign language recognition across different signers. Automatic sign language recognition is currently evolving from artificial lab-generated data to ’real-life’ data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time system design on a large data set with true focus on real-life applicability is thoro...

Automatic sign language recognition (ASLR) is a special case of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and computer vision (CV) and is currently evolving from using artificial labgenerated data to using ’real-life’ data. Although ASLR still struggles with feature extraction, it can benefit from techniques developed for ASR. We present a large-vocabulary ASLR system that is able to recognize sentenc...
متن کاملA 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 ...
