Abstract
Hand gestures and sign language are crucial modes of communication for deaf individuals. Since most people can't understand sign language, it's hard for a mute and an average person to talk to each other. Because of technological progress, computer vision and deep learning can now be used to count. This paper shows two ways to use deep knowledge to recognize sign language. These methods help regular people understand sign language and improve their communication. Based on American sign language (ASL), two separate datasets have been constructed; the first has 26 signs, and the other contains three significant symbols with the crucial sequence of frames or videos for regular communication. This study looks at three different models: the improved ResNet-based convolutional neural network (CNN), the long short-term memory (LSTM), and the gated recurrent unit (GRU). The first dataset is used to fit and assess the CNN model. With the adaptive moment estimation (Adam) optimizer, CNN obtains an accuracy of 89.07%. In contrast, the second dataset is given to LSTM and GRU and a comparison has been conducted. LSTM does better than GRU in all classes. LSTM has a 94.3% accuracy, while GRU only manages 79.3%. Our preliminary models' real-time performance is also highlighted.
