Abstract:
In recent years, sign language recognition has attracted much
attention in computer vision . A sign language is a means of
conveying the message by using hand, arm, body, and face to
convey thoughts and meanings. Like spoken languages, sign
languages emerge and evolve naturally within hearing-impaired
communities. However, sign languages are not universal. There
is no internationally recognized and standardized sign language
for all deaf people. As is the case in spoken language, every
country has got its own sign language with high degree of
grammatical variations. The sign language used in India is
commonly known as Indian Sign Language (henceforth called
ISL).
