Continuous Recognition of Mouth Patterns in Japanese Sign Language for Visual Communication
摘要
In this work, we present a system for continuous recognition of mouth patterns in Japanese Sign Language (JSL) for better visual communication. The continuous identification of five Japanese vowels is done on RGB image sequences using neural networks, including 3DConv, CNN-LSTM, TimeSformer, and ST-GCN. The neural networks are trained and evaluated on a custom dataset with the total number of images in the classes representing mouth vowels equal to 6,694. The dynamics of mouth articulations are analyzed using Grad-CAM-based heatmaps, which are generated from 3DConv features.
