Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The promotion of sign language is important for the communication with hearing-impaired people.Fingerspelling is one of sign language and easy to learn, and we have proposed an application with the motion sensor for effective learning of fingerspelling.In order to improve the recognition ability for continuous fingerspelling in this application, it is necessary to estimate the moving action of hand and fingers as finger alphabets or transition of alphabets (non alphabet).
This paper proposes an indexing method of finger alphabet and non alphabet for sequential motion data obtained from motion sensor.
Two motion features are extracted from the motion data, and two-class classification is performed by machine learning.Section estimation of alphabets and non alphabets (indexing) is performed after the classification by scores generated from frame length.
The performance experiment of the classification and section estimation for finger alphabet groups show the effectiveness and reveal challenges of the proposed method.
