Indian Sign Language animation generation system

Sign language is used by the deaf and dumb people as their mother tongue. Sign Language helps to bridge the gap between hearing-impaired people and hearing people. Research work on Indian sign language is very limited. The main reason behind lack of Research is that there is no proper grammar of ISL and sign language is not same throughout the world. This paper presents a system which generates HamNoSys based on ISL corresponding to words. This system covers all basic words used in daily routine. HamNoSys corresponding to 100 words are generated. These notations are generated according to signs used in India. SiGML file is generated corresponding to HamNoSys notations and given as an input to JA SIGML URL APP to verify the HamNoSys. Accuracy of the animated signs is tested with the help of “Indian Sign Language Dictionary” and results are very encouraging.
