Title: DYNAMIC FINGERSPELLING RECOGNITION USING GEOMETRIC AND MOTION FEATURES

Abstract: This paper presents the Australian sign language (Auslan) Fingerspelling Recognizer (AFR): a system capable of recognizing signs consisting of Auslan manual alphabet letters from video sequences. The AFR system uses a combination of geometric features and motion feature based on optical flow which are extracted from video sequences. The sequence of features are then classified using Hidden Markov Models. Tests using a vocabulary of twenty signed words showed the system could achieve 97% accuracy at the letter level and 88% at the word level by using a finite state grammar network and embedded training.
