| Summary: | Malaysian Sign Language (MSL) is the main
language that is commonly used by the hearing and speech
impaired person in Malaysian. The SL (SL) involves hand
movement, and hand gestures. In order to help people who are
not familiar, but need to understand a particular SL, an
automatic SL recognition system is highly required. The
research in this area, especially for MSL, has been conducted
by many researchers, but one of the main challenges in this
research is the availability of suitable sign database for the
recognition. The existing databases, especially which of MSL
database, are provided often without a proper standard of
image resolution, structure and compression that are
sufficiently good for research purpose. To provide
comprehensive information for the research on MSL, the MSL
database is highly required. In this project, a MSL database is
developed. The database is the first of the kind and developed
for research purpose. In general, the structure of the MSL
database is classified into groups that deal with the hand
movement, hand gestures, and hand location. For the
classification in our proposed database, the MSL is classified
into One Hand, Two Hands, Static, and Dynamic. This
classification is made to ease researchers in defining the
research method for each type offhand signing. |
