Cued speech hand gestures recognition tool

Automatic real-time translation of gestured languages for hearing-impaired would be a major advance on disabled integration path. In this paper, we present a demonstrator on Cued Speech hand gesture recognition. Cued Speech is a specific visual coding that complements oral languages lip-reading. Its nature provides a simple gestures set which is likely to be automatically and reliably recognized in rather little constraint conditions. A first PC-demonstrator illustrates the recognition process.
