چکیده

This paper considers neurological, formational and functional similarities between gestures and signed verb predicates. From analysis of verb sign movement, we offer suggestions for analyzing gestural movement (motion capture, kinematic analysis, trajectory internal structure). From analysis of verb sign distinctions, we offer suggestions for analyzing co-speech gesture functions.

Applying mean shift and motion detection approaches to hand tracking in sign language

Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...

MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION SYSTEM FOR SUBJECT INDEPENDENT SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION USING FUZZY HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL

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...

What sign language creation teaches us about language.

How do languages emerge? What are the necessary ingredients and circumstances that permit new languages to form? Various researchers within the disciplines of primatology, anthropology, psychology, and linguistics have offered different answers to this question depending on their perspective. Language acquisition, language evolution, primate communication, and the study of spoken varieties of p...

Continuous sign language recognition: Towards large vocabulary statistical recognition systems handling multiple signers

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...

Proposal for a Deep Learning Architecture for Activity Recognition

Activity recognition from computer vision plays an important role in research towards applications like human computer interfaces, intelligent environments, surveillance or medical systems. In this paper, we propose a gesture recognition system based on a deep learning architecture and show how it performs when trained with changing multimodal input data on an Italian sign language dataset. The...
