Activity detection in conversational sign language video for mobile telecommunication
Neva C. Durand, Richard E. Ladner, E.A. Riskin · 2008
The goal of the MobileASL project is to increase accessibility by making the mobile telecommunications network available to the signing Deaf community. Video cell phones enable Deaf users to communicate in their native language, American Sign Language (ASL). However, encoding and transmission of real-time video over cell phones is a power-intensive task that can quickly drain the battery.
