Abstract :
This paper presents a new multi-modal information processing system for generating Japanese sign-language animations in a 3D virtual-reality space. In order to create sign-motions composed of hand movements and finger shapes, the system analyzes illustrative pictures (line images) and texts given in sign-language dictionaries. In addition to the individual image analysis and text analysis mutual augmentation and integration of the analyses are tried to obtain more precise motional data
