Abstract

This article reports on an extensive database of American Sign Language (ASL) motions, handshapes, words and sentences. Research on automatic recognition of ASL requires a suitable database for the training and the testing of algorithms. The databases that are currently available do not allow, for algorithmic development that requires a step-by-step approach to ASL recognition -from the recognition of individual hand-shapes, to the recognition of motion primitives, and, finally, to the recognition of full sentences. We have sought to remove these deficiencies in a new database 驴 Purdue RVL-SLLL ASL database.
