American Sign Language finger spelling recognition system
Jeff Allen, Pierre K. Asselin, R. Foulds · 2003
An American Sign Language (ASL) finger spelling recognition system was designed and constructed in order to translate the ASL alphabet into the corresponding printed and spoken English letters. This endeavor required the use of abduction and bend-sensing technology to accurately transform hand and finger positions into real-time digital joint-angle data. Computer algorithms were developed in Matlab and Labview to recognize the finger spelled letters and translate them into English letters.
