Abstract:
Given that advances in technology have increased rapidly over the past few years, developing a vision-based recog-nition system that could aid in the interaction between the Deaf and the hearing does not sound that far-fetched anymore. We can distinguish between two categories of hand gestures, namely static and dynamic. A static gesture is a particular hand configu-ration and pose represented by a single image. A dynamic gesture is a moving gesture, represented by a sequence of images. This makes signed language a good test case for the classification of gestures, since each gesture is assigned a particular meaning. This paper will focus on the development of a system that will recog-nise static hand images against complex backgrounds based on South African Sign Language (SASL). A Support Vector Recogni-tion system will be used to classify hand postures as gestures, due to its high generalization performance without the need to add a-priori knowledge, even when the dimensions of the input space is very high.
