Abstract

Sign language is the natural language used by Deaf and Mute people for communication, which is mainly expressed through hand gestures.This study is about creating an application for Deaf and Mute People which uses media Pipeline and OpenCV, The processing includes extract frame frame from the feed, process the image, detect hand landmarks, classification, conclude the output and The result is displayed as a text along with the overlay for the hands and the bounding box. This research studies whether it is possible to build such an application for the mobile platform with offline features.
