Silent Expressions Unveiled: Deep Learning for British and American Sign Language Detection

Abstract

Sign language is an efficient means of communication for the hearing impaired. The main goal of this research is to recognize both American and British sign languages using computer vision algorithms and neural networks. Our work addresses the critical need for inclusive and accessible communication for the Deaf community. For the study, we compiled a large dataset of her ASL and BSL gestures. Preprocess the data to improve feature extraction and reduce noise. Our model architecture uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to capture the temporal patterns of finger gestures. This allows you to use Mediapipe keypoint detection within your model. The end result is a comprehensive model that can accurately and quickly recognize and classify sign language gestures. We further improve the usability of the system by integrating keyword recognition into the model, allowing sign language sentences to be decoded and translated into text. Our test results demonstrate how well our deep learning strategy works to achieve high efficiency and accuracy in both ASL and BSL detection. This program helps bridge the gap between those who use sign language and those who do not. Our new approach not only accurately recognizes American and British sign language, but also seamlessly integrates real-time feedback to help users make immediate improvements to improve their sign language skills. We can do better. Moreover, our approach is flexible enough to be used in a variety of settings, ensuring its usefulness in educational environments and providing sign language learners with a fun and dynamic learning environment. Explore and exploit the full potential of Mediapipe Keypoint using CNNs and also leverage the efficiency of computer vision.
