“…The Thalmanns [23,44] improved on the hand model to include much better skin models and deformations of the finger tips and the gripped object. Lee and Kunii [38] built a system that includes handshapes and simple pre-stored facial expressions for American Sign Language (ASL) synthesis. Dynamics of arm gestures in ASL have been studied by Loomis et al [42].…”

We describe an implemented system which automatically generates and animates conversations between multiple human-like agents with appropriate and synchronized speech, intonation, facial expressions, and hand gestures. Conversations are created by a dialogue planner that produces the text as well as the intonation of the utterances. The speaker/listener relationship, the text, and the intonation in turn drive facial expressions, lip motions, eye gaze, head motion, and arm gesture generators.

“…Like spoken or written languages, sign languages used in different countries are different and standard. For example, American Sign Language (ASL) is used by approximately one-half million deaf people in the United States and Canada [10]. ASL is one of the most complete sign systems in the world.…”

We propose Thai Sign to Thai Machine Translation (TSTMT), an alternative approach to machine translation which is used for translating from Thai sign language into Thai text. TSTMT performs the translation by recognizing an image sequence of signs as sign words and synthesizing a target sentence from those sign words. TSTMT represents a hybrid of image recognition and natural language processing techniques. This approach is comprised of seven modules which are straightforward and extendable.The applications of TSTMT can be used to facilitate learning in deaf people and to help them to communicate with hearing people via their own language. In this paper the idea and initial experiment are presented.
