Two-handed hand gesture recognition for Bangla sign language using LDA and ANN

Abstract

Sign language detection and recognition (SLDR) using computer vision is a very challenging task. In respect to Bangladesh, sign language users are around 2.4 million [16]. In this paper, we try to focus for communicating with those users by computer vision. In this respect, an efficient method is proposed consists of some significant steps and they are, skin detection, preprocessing, different machine learning techniques like PCA and LDA, neural network for training and testing purpose of the system. Various hand sign images are used to test the proposed method and results are presented to provide its effectiveness.
