Indian Hand Sign Gesture Recognition using Deep Learning : Bridging the Communication Gap with AI-Powered Sign Detection
Keywords:
Gesture, AI-Powered, Deep LearningAbstract
Hand sign gesture recognition is the process of a system to recognize human gestures through mathematical algorithms. Computer vision and machine learning are generally involved. Consider the applications in human-computer interaction, sign language translation, virtual reality, and robotics. The paper discussed the sign language work in the vision-based hand gesture recognition system for the period 2014 to 2020. The aim here is to determine the progress and what demands more focus. We have retrieved a total of 98 articles from prominent online databases using chosen keywords. The review indicates that the vision-based hand gesture recognition research is an ongoing area of research, and numerous studies have been carried out, leading to dozens of papers being published each year in conferences and journals. The majority of the papers are centered on three important areas of the vision-based hand gesture recognition system, which are: data acquisition, data environment, and hand gesture representation. We also discussed the performance of vision-based hand gesture recognition system based on recognition accuracy. In the case of signer dependent, recognition accuracy.
