Paper Abstract:
|
Sign language is a language mainly known by the community of deaf people and other people related to this community.
It is based on a set of hand gestures that differ depending on the language. Training more people in sign language is a
difficult task as there are no adequate resources to aid independent study. This constraint limits deaf mobility and raising
the general public's awareness towards the deaf. As of today a limited amount of research has been performed on sign
language recognition, using pattern recognition and image processing techniques for recognizing hand gestures, but not
sign language training. In this work, we demonstrate an extensible software used for Greek sign language (GSL)
recognition and training, using direct input from an extremely cheap and affordable virtual glove. This software can be
used within minutes and teaches the user the hand gestures used in GSLÂ’s alphabet. |
