Sign language is a form of visual communication employing hand gestures, body movements, and facial expressions. The growing prevalence of hearing impairment has …
Sign language facilitates communication between hearing impaired peoples and the rest of the society. A number of sign language recognition (SLR) systems have been developed by …
This chapter covers the key aspects of sign-language recognition (SLR), starting with a brief introduction to the motivations and requirements, followed by a précis of sign linguistics and …
This paper discusses sign language recognition using linguistic sub-units. It presents three types of sub-units for consideration; those learnt from appearance data as well as those …
Automatic sign language recognition is a research area that encompasses human-computer interaction, computer vision and machine learning. Robust automatic recognition of sign …
This paper presents a novel, discriminative, multi-class classifier based on Sequential Pattern Trees. It is efficient to learn, compared to other Sequential Pattern methods, and …
We introduce a new computational phonetic modeling framework for sign language (SL) recognition. This is based on dynamic–static statistical subunits and provides sequentiality …
We explore novel directions for incorporating phonetic transcriptions into sub-unit based statistical models for sign language recognition. First, we employ a new symbolic processing …
Automatic sign language recognition is an important topic within the areas of human- computer interaction and machine learning. On the one hand, it poses a complex challenge …
