OUTILNE • Introduction • Sign Language Recognition • Translation of text to sign language • Conclusion and future work
Importance of Sign Language • Arabic sign language (ARSL) is different from spoken Arabic language in terms of grammars, vocabulary, and delivery. • ARSL is the natural language for deaf like spoken language to vocal • Sign language is different from country to other (Australia, UK, USA) • 100,000 deaf and hearing impaired in KSA
Objectives Using Computers to make life of deaf easier and integrating them in the society : • Translating ARSL to spoken language • Translating Arabic speech to ARSL
ARSL Recognition • Image based • Requires special set up for camera • Heavy computational load to extract hands • Electronic-Glove based • Inconvenience of gloves • Ease of signal extractions
CyberGlove • 22 sensors • Light weight • Flexible

1300 signs 344 single handed
Data Collection 344 single handed signs 6880 Samples 6880 samples 20 samples from every sign: 15 for training and 5 for testing
System Performance • Time segments and Principle Component Analysis for feature extraction • Correct recognition rate of 98.33%
Analysis of Misclassified Signs Frames of sign of letter “س” Frames of sign of letter “ش”
Analysis of Misclassified Signs Frames from the sign “employee” Frames from the sign “Down syndrome”
Analysis in Feature space Hand shape of “employee” Hand shape of “Down syndrome”
Translating Speech to ARSL سلمان ســـــــــــلمان
Conclusions and Future work • Developed a Real-time single-handed Arabic sign language recognition system with accuracy of 98.33% • Working on two-handed signs recognition • Developing our own smart glove for Arabic Sign Language • Mapping of signs to roots for speech to sign translation
