- Abstract
Sign language is a natural language that emerged to fulfill the communication requirements of the Deaf community. It uses the visual-gestural modality, meaning that meaning is mostly communicated through the use of hands, facial expressions, and upper body motions. Sign language has changed and grown over time, just like all languages, to meet the ever-changing demands of its users. Current technological advancements offer fresh chances to enhance communication between Deaf individuals and non-sign language users, particularly in the domains of computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI). Language barrier reduction and improved clarity and efficiency in communication can be facilitated by these technologies, which allow for more accurate and rapid recognition of sign language motions. In order to develop models that can comprehend and recognize sign language, this research project looks into the application of AI and computer vision. To empower individuals with disabilities, the intention is to provide them with the means to express their ideas and opinions to a wider audience.
