Sign language recognition (SLR) plays an important role in human-computer interaction (HCI), especially for the convenient communication between deaf and hearing society. How to enhance the traditional hidden Markov models (HMM) based SLR is an important issue in the SLR community. And how to refine the boundaries of the classifiers to effectively characterize the property of spread-out of the training samples is another significant issue. In this paper, a new classification framework applying adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) strategy to continuous HMM (CHMM) training procedure at the subwords classification level for SLR is presented. The ensemble of multiple composite CHMMs for each subword trained in boosting iterations tends to concentrate more on the hard-to-classify samples so as to generate more complex decision boundary than that of the single HMM classifier. Experimental results on the vocabulary of frequently used Chinese sign language (CSL) subwords show that the proposed boosted CHMM outperforms the conventional CHMM for SLR. Copyright 2005 ACM.

In this paper, a vision-based medium vocabulary Chinese sign language recognition (SLR) system is presented. The proposed recognition system consists of two modules. In the first module, techniques of robust hands detection, background subtraction and pupils detection are efficiently combined to precisely extract the feature information with the aid of simple colored gloves in the unconstrained environment. Meanwhile, an effective and efficient hierarchical feature description scheme with different scale features to characterize sign language is proposed, where principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to characterize the finger features more elaborately. In the second part, a Tied-Mixture Density Hidden Markov Models (TMDHMM) framework for SLR is proposed, which can speed up the recognition without the significant loss of recognition accuracy compared with the continuous hidden Markov models (CHMM). Experimental results based on 439 frequently used Chinese sign language (CSL) words show that the proposed methods can work well for the medium vocabulary SLR in the environment without special constraints and the recognition accuracy is up to 92.5%.
