Abstract

This article presents a study on coarticulation modeling in French Sign Language. Our aim is to use this model to provide information to deaf people, by the mean of a virtual signer. We propose a definition for “coarticulation”, based on an overview of the literature. We explain the methodology we have set up: from video corpus design to features correlations extractions, through corpus annotations and analysis. We expose first results and what are going to be the next steps of this study.
