Abstract:
Sign language is the most natural and expressive way for the hearing impaired. Its most appealing application is the development of more effective and friendly interfaces for human-machine interaction. Gestures are a natural and powerful way of communication. A hand gesture recognition system can provide an opportunity for a mute person to communicate with normal people without the need of an interpreter. We proposed use to the finite state machine with key frame selection facility and gesture trajectory features for one hand gesture recognition. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme for recognizing One Handed American Sign Language.
