A Real-Time Dynamic Gesture Variability Recognition Method Based on Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract

Among the many problems in machine learning, the most critical ones involve improving the categorical response prediction rate based on extracted features. In spite of this, it is noted that most of the time from the entire cycle of multi-class machine modeling for sign language recognition tasks is spent on data preparation, including collection, filtering, analysis, and visualization of data. To find the optimal solution for the above-mentioned problem, this paper proposes a methodology for automatically collecting the spatiotemporal features of gestures by calculating the coordinates of the found area of the pose and hand, normalizing them, and constructing an optimal multilayer perceptron for multiclass classification. By extracting and analyzing spatiotemporal data, the proposed method makes it possible to identify not only static features, but also the spatial (for gestures that touch the face and head) and dynamic features of gestures, which leads to an increase in the accuracy of gesture recognition. This classification was also carried out according to the form of the gesture demonstration to optimally extract the characteristics of gestures (display ability of all connection points), which also led to an increase in the accuracy of gesture recognition for certain classes to the value of 0.96. This method was tested using the well-known Ankara University Turkish Sign Language Dataset and the Dataset for Argentinian Sign Language to validate the experiment, which proved effective with a recognition accuracy of 0.98.

“…This study is focused on developing algorithms and 3D avatars to facilitate effective visual representation of sign language, particularly in the context of deaf interpreters. The formalization of algorithms and the development of corresponding code play a pivotal role in creating visual demonstrators for sign language translation [3,4].…”
