An integrated sign language recognition system
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
Research has shown that five parameters are required to recognize any sign language
gesture: hand shape, location, orientation and motion, as well as facial expressions. The
South African Sign Language (SASL) research ...
Robust facial expression recognition in the presence of rotation and partial occlusion
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
This research proposes an approach to recognizing facial expressions in the presence of
rotations and partial occlusions of the face. The research is in the context of automatic
machine translation of South African Sign ...
Robust South African sign language gesture recognition using hand motion and shape
(2014)
Research has shown that five fundamental parameters are required to recognize any sign language gesture: hand shape, hand motion, hand location, hand orientation and facial expressions. The South African Sign Language ...
Independent hand-tracking from a single two-dimensional view and its application to South African sign language recognition
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
Hand motion provides a natural way of interaction that allows humans to interact not
only with the environment, but also with each other. The effectiveness and accuracy of
hand-tracking is fundamental to the recognition ...
