Abstract
This work aims at presenting a novel Computer Vision approach in the development of a real-time, web-camera based, British Sign Language recognition system. A literature review focused on current (1) state of sign language recognition systems and (2) techniques used is conducted. This review process is used as a foundation on which a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based system is designed and then implemented. A bespoke British Sign Language dataset - containing 11,875 images - is then performed to train and test the CNN which is used for the classification of human hand performed gestures. Finally, the CNN architecture recognized 19 static British Sign Language gestures, incorporating both single and double-handed gestures. During testing, the system achieved an average recognition accuracy of 89%.
