Sign Language Detection Using Action Recognition

Abstract

Sign language detection technique is a part of technology which is of extreme importance to the society. Sign languages is used by deaf and dumb people who are unable to communicate directly using sound since they lack the ability to produce or recognize sound waves which enable us to communicate easily. The proposed project aims in decreasing the distance between the sign language detection techniques which only focuses on detecting the meaning of letters like ASL and not actions provided by the users. The project detects sign languages by using key holes as the position locator and then trains the system to detect accordingly. Keyholes are used to find the position of gesture to use LSTM throughout coaching of the information. Experimental results demonstrate the efficaciousness of the planned methodology in sign language detection task
