Automatic recognition of fingerspelled words in British Sign Language
We investigate the problem of recognizing words from video, fingerspelled using the British Sign Language (BSL) fingerspelling alphabet. This is a challenging task since the BSL alphabet involves both hands occluding each other, and contains signs which are ambiguous from the observer's viewpoint. The main contributions of our work include: (i) recognition based on hand shape alone, not requiring motion cues; (ii) robust visual features for hand shape recognition; (iii) scalability to large lexicon recognition with no re-training. We report results on a dataset of 1,000 low quality webcam videos of 100 words. The proposed method achieves a word recognition accuracy of 98.9%.
