Abstract

Translation and understanding sign language may be difficult for some. Therefore, this paper proposes a solution to this problem by providing an Arabic sign language translation system using ontology and deep learning techniques. That is to interpret user's signs to different meanings. This paper implemented ontology on the sign language domain to solve some sign language challenges. In this first version, simple static signs composed of Arabic alphabets and some Arabic words started to translate. Deep Convolution Neural Network (CNN) architecture was trained and tested on a pre-made Arabic sign language dataset and on a dataset collected in this paper to obtain better accuracy in recognition. Experimental results show that according to the pre-made Arabic sign language dataset the classification accuracy of the training set (80% of the dataset) was 98.06% and recognition accuracy of the testing set (20% of the dataset) was 88.87%. According to the collected dataset, the classification accuracy of the training set was 98.6% and Semantic recognition accuracy of the testing set was 94.31%.
