1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The report proposes a new technique that helps the deaf to learn sign language.
The basic idea is to combine several tools and techniques together. It gives the user
ability to learn the sign language without human help. He has to use data gloves that
are connected to computer, which has a database for signs clips. When user asks for a
sign, the computer will display its clip. Then the user will try to do it correctly using
data gloves, so the computer captures the sign and make a decision. If the sign is not
matched, the computer will ask for another trial.
1.2 Methodology
The figure shown (Figure 1.1) describes the tools and techniques of this project.
We use data gloves for sign acquisition. Then the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)
are used for sign recognition. Then, the graphical user interface (GUI) is used to
display the text and clips.
The report is organized as follows: Chapter 1 states report objectives and the
proposed system is overviewed. Chapter 2 discusses data gloves and its interface to
the PC. In Chapter 3, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are introduced and how our
design programmed, also there is some specifics like back propagation (BP) method.
In chapter 4, graphical user interface (GUI) is introduced and different tools are
explained. GUI use as an interface for our project is also discussed in this chapter. In
chapter 5, we try to discuss future steps needed to improve the work accomplished in
this project.
2.3 Preprocessing
3.2 Preprocessing
There are some processes that needed to start training neural network (ANNs) to
achieve good matching. When the user starts recording data, there is a huge range will
be recorded; so we need to make a standard to synchronize the effective data. There
are two steps to solve this problem.
