Abstract

The field of hand gesture recognition has recently reached new heights thanks to its widespread use in domains like remote sensing, robotic control, and smart home appliances, among others. Despite this, identifying gestures is difficult because of the intransigent features of the human hand, which make the codes used to decode them illegible and impossible to compare. Differentiating regional patterns is the job of pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is at the heart of sign language. People who are deaf or mute may understand the spoken language of the rest of the world by learning sign language. Any part of the body may be used to create signs in sign language. The suggested system employs a gesture recognition system trained on Indian sign language. The methods of preprocessing, hand segmentation, feature extraction, gesture identification, and classification of hand gestures are discussed in this work as they pertain to hand gesture sign language. A hybrid approach is used to extract the features, which combines the usage of Haar-like features with the application of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG).The SVM classifier is then fed the characteristics it has extracted from the pictures in order to make an accurate classification. A false rejection error rate of 8% is achieved while the accuracy of hand gesture detection is improved by 93.5%.
