University of Basra master's thesis examines sign language translation system for deaf and dumb people
A master's thesis at the University of Basra's College of Engineering has researched a sign language translation system for deaf and dumb people based on hand gesture recognition.
The thesis, submitted by student Batoul Abdullah Saham, aims to design a model to recognize American Sign Language characters based on a glove equipped with five sliding potentiometers and two force-sensitive resistors.
The thesis included four chapters in which she discussed the design of an ASL character recognition model based on a glove with five sliding potentiometers and two force-sensitive resistors. The sliding potentiometers are used to detect finger flexion and the force-sensitive resistors are used to detect contact between neighboring fingers.
