From Dutch original, Spijkerschrift, Breda: Uitgverij De Geus, 2000. This remarkable book by an Iranian emigré is built around a deaf character, Aga Akbar, who was a carpet weaver in a village of Persia, and later moved to the modern world of Teheran. Aga Akbar is the father of the narrator, and together they communicate by 'home sign', which the son interprets to his father's rural world. Reflections on the culture, religion and history of Persia / Iran are cast in the format of a novel about various kinds of communication. The tale is imbued with the Qur'anic verses, Persian poetry and ceremonies of rural Muslim life, in a world that begins to change rapidly under political and religious pressures.

The various articles have many points of confluence and some of disagreement, as they draw evidence and enter into debate at different moments across 3000 years of slowly evolving social attitudes and religious practices.

  • Persian Sign Gesture Translation to English Spoken Language on Smartphone
    Published by : International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) http://www.ijert.org ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 9 Issue 06, June-2020 Persian Sign Gesture Translation to English Spoken Language on Smartphone Muhammad Reza Jafari Dr. Vinod Kumar Computer Science & Engineering Department Computer Science & Engineering Department Delhi Technological University (DTU) Delhi Technological University (DTU) Delhi, India Delhi, India Abstract — Hearing impaired and others with verbal Persian language is no exception. Figure 1 shows the Persian challenges face difficulty to communicate with society; Sign sign Language Alphabets. Language represents their communication such as numbers or phrases. The communication becomes a challenge with people from other countries using different languages. Additionally, the sign language is different from one country to another. That is, learning one sign language doesn’t mean learning all sign languages. To translate a word from sign language to a spoken language is a challenge and to change a particular word from that language to another language is even a bigger challenge. In such cases, there is necessity for 2 interpreters: One from sign language to the source-spoken language and one from the source language to the target language. There is ample research done on sign recognition, yet this paper focuses on translating gestures from one language to another. In this study, we are proposing the use of smartphone as a platform for Sign Language recognition, because smartphones are available worldwide. Smartphones are limited in computational power and we propose a system of client- server application where most of processing tasks are done on the server side. In client-server application system, client could be a smartphone application that captures images of sign gestures to be recognized and sent to a server.

  • Kurdish Sign Language Recognition System
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Kurdish Sign Language Recognition System Abdulla Dlshad, Fattah Alizadeh Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Kurdistan Hewler, Erbil, Kurdistan Region - F.R. Iraq *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Received: 01 February 2018 Accepted: 22 April 2018 Available online: 30 June 2018 ABSTRACT Deaf people all around the world face difficulty to communicate with the others. Hence, they use their own language to communicate with each other. On the other hand, it is difficult for deaf people to get used to technological services such as websites, television, mobile applications, and so on. This project aims to design a prototype system for deaf people to help them to communicate with other people and computers without relying on human interpreters. The proposed system is for letter-based Kurdish Sign Language (KuSL) which has not been introduced before. The system would be a real-time system that takes actions immediately after detecting hand gestures. Three algorithms for detecting KuSL have been implemented and tested, two of them are well-known methods that have been implemented and tested by other researchers, and the third one has been introduced in this paper for the 1st time. The new algorithm is named Grid- based gesture descriptor. It turned out to be the best method for the recognition of Kurdish hand signs. Furthermore, the result of the algorithm was 67% accuracy of detecting hand gestures. Finally, the other well-known algorithms are named scale invariant feature transform and speeded-up robust features, and they responded with 42% of accuracy. Keywords: Image Processing, Kurdish, Machine Learning, Sign Language 1.

  • Quantitative Survey of the State of the Art in Sign Language Recognition
    QUANTITATIVE SURVEY OF THE STATE OF THE ART IN SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION Oscar Koller∗ Speech and Language Microsoft Munich, Germany [email protected] September 1, 2020 ABSTRACT This work presents a meta study covering around 300 published sign language recognition papers with over 400 experimental results. It includes most papers between the start of the field in 1983 and 2020. Additionally, it covers a fine-grained analysis on over 25 studies that have compared their recognition approaches on RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather 2014, the standard benchmark task of the field. Research in the domain of sign language recognition has progressed significantly in the last decade, reaching a point where the task attracts much more attention than ever before. This study compiles the state of the art in a concise way to help advance the field and reveal open questions. Moreover, all of this meta study’s source data is made public, easing future work with it and further expansion. The analyzed papers have been manually labeled with a set of categories. The data reveals many insights, such as, among others, shifts in the field from intrusive to non-intrusive capturing, from local to global features and the lack of non-manual parameters included in medium and larger vocabulary recognition systems. Surprisingly, RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather with a vocabulary of 1080 signs represents the only resource for large vocabulary continuous sign language recognition benchmarking world wide. Keywords Sign Language Recognition · Survey · Meta Study · State of the Art Analysis 1 Introduction Since recently, automatic sign language recognition experiences significantly more attention by the community.
