Sign language recognizer
- 1. An intelligent approach to recognize sign language for deaf and dumb people of the world
- 2. Dedication First of all we would like to remember the deaf and dumb people of the world for whom we tried to develop a Sign language Recognizer (SLR).
- 3. Outline • Sign language • SLR & its necessity • Helping process of SLR • Working procedure of SLR • Block Diagram of SLR • BP training time & graph • Recognition accuracy • Limitations • Future plan • Papers
- 4. What is Sign Language ?? Communicating language used primarily by deaf people. Uses different medium such as hands, face, or eyes rather than vocal tract or ears for communication purpose. Communication using sign language
- 5. What is SLR ?? Sign language recognizer (SLR) is a tool for recognizing sign language of deaf and dumb people of the world.
- 6. Why we need SLR ?? Problems: • About 2 million people are deaf in our world • They are deprived from various social activities • They are under-estimated to our society • Communication problem
- 7. Continued.. Proposed Solution: SLR SLR can be a desirable interpreter which can help both the community general and deaf.
- 8. How SLR help ?? An Example..... Suppose a deaf customer went to a shop. She is ?? trying to express her demands to the shopkeeper using sign language but the shopkeeper can not understand her demands. shopkeeper Deaf customer
- 9. Continued.. SLR brings the solution for this problem>> • SLR capture signs shown by deaf man • Convert the signs to text • This text is shown to shopkeeper Now the shopkeeper can understand the deaf man’s demands
- 10. Continued.. Sign to text conversion using SLR Sign Converted text
- 11. Continued.. Text to sign conversion When shopkeeper replied to the deaf customer SLR • Convert text to sign • This sign is shown to the deaf customer Now the deaf man can understand the shopkeeper’s speeches
- 12. Continued.. Text to sign conversion using SLR Shopkeeper speech/text Sign
- 13. Text to Sign Conversion
- 14. Process Collecting Text • Text from the writing place are collected Separate each letters Showing sign
- 15. Continued.. Collecting Text • From the sentences each letter are Separate each letter separated and put into an array. Showing sign
- 16. Continued.. Collecting Text • For each letter a predefined sign image Separate each letters are shown. Showing sign
- 17. Sign to Text Conversion
- 18. How SLR works ?? Image processing & sign detection Normalization Sign recognition Sign to text conversion
- 19. Continued.. Image processing & sign detection • Image capture • Skin color detection Normalization Sign recognition Sign to text conversion
- 20. Continued.. Image processing & sign detection • Hand gesture detection Normalization • Sign detection Sign recognition Sign to text conversion
- 21. Continued.. Image processing & sign detection • Reducing image size Normalization Sign recognition Sign to text conversion 200x200 30x33
- 22. Continued.. Image processing & sign detection • Backpropagation implementation Normalization Sign recognition Sign to text conversion
- 23. Continued.. Image processing & sign detection • Converting sign language to Bengali or English text Normalization Sign recognition v Sign to text conversion
- 24. Block diagram of the SLR
- 25. BP Training Figure: Training error versus number of iteration
- 26. Training time for BP Training Input size of pixel Time (min) 30*33 1.5 45*48 2.8 60*63 3.7 We have used 50 signs as training input where each sign has 5 samples that make 50 x 5 = 250 samples.
- 27. Recognition Accuracy Avg. No. of input Accuracy (%) 10 74 20 65 30 60
- 28. Limitations • Due to brightness and contrast sometimes webcam can hardly detect the expected skin color. • Because of the similarity of tracking environment background color and skin color the SLR gets unexpected pixels.
- 29. Continued.. • Due to almost similar pattern its become hard to take decision.
- 30. Continued..
- 31. Future Plan • Real time word recognition of ASL & BSL • Implementing neural network Ensembles • Implementing Genetic algorithm for sign recognition
- 32. Required Tools • Visual studio 2008 • XML • Avro Keyboard installed • Aforge .Net • Open CV • Webcam
