| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Indeed a lot of studies have been reported on the sign language recognition system, but there are few studies suitable for daily use. In this study, we proposed a sign language recognition system available as daily use. The system is wearable but no restraints in gesturing because sign languages are sensed by a camera mounted on the user’s chest. In discriminating the form of hand, a state-of-art feature descriptor, i.e. SIFT, is employed. It is considered that the SIFT is suitable for wearable systems because of the low computational costs. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by an experiment using 22 sign language words. As a result, we obtained good results for 19 words among the 22 words.
