Abstract
For people who are speech impaired and use Japanese sign language, it is helpful to develop an interactive Japanese sign language interface. T. Yamaguchi, M. Yoshihara etc. have proposed and realized a method for it. It used only spatial motion features of different sign language and didn't think about the shape of hands. In this paper, we propose a method which employs skill of image processing to process and analysis simple shape of hand, and combine it with the conventional method. The proposed system switches their two features with attention. We also use Fuzzy Associative Memory Organizing Unit System (FAMOUS) to get associative inference results. Our system is person independent with high recognition rate.
