Real-time Malaysian sign language translation using colour segmentation and neural network

Real-time Malaysian sign language translation using colour segmentation and neural network

In this paper we present an automatic visual-based sign language translation system. Our proposed automatic sign-language translator provides a real-time English translation of the Malaysia SL. To date, there have been studies on sign language recognition based on visual approach (video camera). Ho...
