Abstract :
Sign language is the language of the deaf which used as major daily communication tool. Sign language recognition can not only provide convenience for the deaf and also personified as a research platform for human-computer interaction and it has important academic values and broad application prospects. The current field of pattern recognition, Gabor wavelet transform has been widely used. In this paper, two-dimensional Gabor wavelet transform in the field of sign language recognition is studied, while taking advantage of the knowledge of image processing to achieve a sign language analysis and identification. This paper presents sign language recognition method with fusion of facial information.
