Detection and Interpretation of Indian Sign Language Using LSTM Networks
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Systems and Control - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Sign language plays a crucial role in communication for individuals with speech or hearing difficulties. However, the lack of a comprehensive Indian Sign Language (ISL) corpus impedes the development of text-to-ISL conversion systems. This study proposes a specific deep learning-based sign language detection system tailored specifically for Indian Sign Language (ISL). The proposed system utilizes Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to detect and recognize actions from dynamic ISL gestures captured in videos. Initially, the system employs computer vision algorithms to extract relevant features and representations from the input gestures. Subsequently, an LSTM-based deep learning architecture is employed to capture the temporal dependencies and patterns within the gestures. LSTM models excel in sequential data processing, making them well-suited for analyzing the dynamic nature of sign language gestures. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed system, extensive experimentation and evaluation were conducted. A customized dataset was curated, encompassing a diverse range of ISL sign language actions. This dataset was created by collecting video recordings of native ISL users performing various actions, ensuring comprehensive coverage of gestures and expressions. These videos were meticulously annotated and labelled with corresponding textual representations of the gestures. The dataset was then split into training and testing sets to train the LSTM-based model and evaluate its performance. The proposed system yielded promising results during the validation process, achieving a training accuracy of 96% and a test accuracy of 87% for ISL recognition. These results outperformed previous approaches in the field. The system's ability to effectively detect and recognize actions from dynamic ISL gestures, facilitated by the deep learning-based approach utilizing LSTM networks, demonstrates the potential for more accurate and robust sign language recognition systems. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of the system. Currently, the system's primary focus is on recognizing individual words rather than full sentences, indicating the need for further research to enhance sentence-level interpretations. Additionally, variations in lighting conditions, camera angles, and hand orientations can potentially impact the system's accuracy, particularly in the context of ISL.
