Abstract
This paper describes a method for automatic recognition of isolated Swedish Sign Language signs for the purpose of educational signing-based games. Two datasets consisting of 51 signs have been recorded from a total of 7 (experienced) and 10 (inexperienced) adult signers. The signers performed all of the signs 5 times and were captured with a RGB-D (Kinect) sensor, via a purpose-built recording application. A recognizer based on manual components of sign language is presented and tested on the collected datasets. Signer-dependent recognition rate is 95.3% for the most consistent signer. Signer-independent recognition rate is on average 57.9% for the experienced signers and 68.9% for the inexperienced.
