Indian sign language translator using kinect

Abstract

Though Indian sign language (ISL) translation remained under examination for numerous years, still it is very difficult to implement in real-time systems. The background and brightness disturb the skeleton tracing and make the ISL translation very hard. Microsoft Kinect Xbox 360 is capable of giving in-depth vision image and color vision image of everything in front of it, created on which the skeleton body action can be tracked more precise and easier to get depth coordinate of the skeleton. So that nearest matrix matching algorithm of each ISL word is coordinated and matched among input data to get the result.
