Abstract :
To automatically interpret Japanese sign language (JSL), the recognition of signed words must be more accurate and the effects of extraneous gestures removed. We describe the parameters and the algorithms used to accomplish this. We experimented with 200 JSL sentences and demonstrated that recognition performance could be considerably improved
