When the design of directional signage takes into account both the needs of different types of end users and the nuances of a specific environment, this can greatly enhance a localised wayfinding system. This need for contextualised wayfinding design is particularly apparent within zoological gardens, as the presence of captive animals represents a distinctive challenge in terms of sign design....

We describe the design, recording and content of a Czech Sign Language database in this paper. The database is intended for training and testing of sign language recognition (SLR) systems. The UWB-06-SLR-A database contains video data of 15 signers recorded from 3 different views, two of them capture whole body and provide 3D motion data, and third one is focused on signer’s face and provide da...

Background Diagnosing an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture based on a physical examination remains a challenge for both surgeons and physical therapists. The lever sign test was developed to overcome the practical limitations of other tests and to optimize diagnosis. An evaluation of the measurement properties of the lever sign test is needed to make adequate interpretations in practice....

In this paper we present the methodology of data collection and implementation of databases for the creation of extensive lexical and terminological resources for the Greek Sign Language (GSL) in order to introduce the major issue of dynamic sign representation. In respect to electronic linguistic resources of GSL, the focus is on issues of validation of linguistic content, multipurpose design ...

Sign languages are visual-gestural languages developed mainly in deaf communities; their tempo-spatial nature makes it difficult to write them, yet several transcription systems are available for them. Most sign language dictionaries interact with users via a transcription-based interface; thus users need to be expert of that specific transcription system. The e-LIS dictionary is the first web ...
