A New Way to Communicate: Deep Learning for Deaf and Dumb People
摘要
This research presents a revolutionary deep learning-based solution, specifically neural networks with convolutional layers (CNN) and recurrent layers (RNN), to overcome the communication difficulties that deaf and mute people encounter. Focusing on the Indian Sign Language (ISL), our methodology involves designing and implementing a deep learning model capable of recognizing and interpreting ISL gestures. We describe the data collection process, emphasizing the significance of linguistic and cultural nuances in training the model. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the CNN for spatial feature extraction from static gestures, while the RNN captures temporal dependencies in dynamic gestures. Results show a promising accuracy rate, affirming the viability of our approach in enabling a new, effective way for the deaf and mute communities to communicate. This research contributes to the broader field of assistive technology, emphasizing the potential of deep learning to foster inclusivity.
