Sign language was designed to allow hearing-impaired people to interact with others. Nonetheless, knowledge of sign language is uncommon in society, which leads to a communication barrier with the hearing-impaired community. Many studies of sign lang...
The quality of recognition systems for continuous utterances in signed languages could be largely advanced within the last years. However, research efforts often do not address specific linguistic features of signed languages, as e.g., non-manual exp...
In this work, we show that a late fusion approach to multimodality in sign language recognition improves the overall ability of the model in comparison to the singular approaches of image classification (88.14%) and Leap Motion data classification (7...
We propose a sign language recognition system based on wearable electronics and two different classification algorithms. The wearable electronics were made of a sensory glove and inertial measurement units to gather fingers, wrist, and arm/forearm mo...
Dynamic hand gesture recognition is one of the most significant tools for human-computer interaction. In order to improve the accuracy of the dynamic hand gesture recognition, in this paper, a two-layer Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Network for the ...
Human activity recognition is an important and difficult topic to study because of the important variability between tasks repeated several times by a subject and between subjects. This work is motivated by providing time-series signal classification...

In this paper, deep belief net (DBN) was applied into the field of wearable-sensor based Chinese sign language (CSL) recognition. Eight subjects were involved in the study, and all of the subjects finished a five-day experiment performing CSL on a ta...
This paper reports the design and analysis of an American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet translation system implemented in hardware using a Field-Programmable Gate Array. The system process consists of three stages, the first being the communication wi...

An estimated 0.2% of the world population is living with severe deafblindness with approximately ~1.5 million Americans using tactile American Sign Language (t-ASL) as their primary form of communication. To allow them to communicate without an in-pe...
