Towards real-time sign language analysis via markerless gesture tracking

This paper introduces the gesture and hand posture tracking systems for a prototype real-time New Zealand sign language recognition system. The novelty of this work is in the markerless tracking of 13 gestures plus an unknown gesture category. Currently the gesture set is limited, but over time a mo...
