| Abstract(in English) | We work on automatic Japanese sign Language (JSL) recognition using hidden Markov models (HMMs). An important issue for modeling sign is that how to determine the constituent element of sign (i.e., subunit) like "phoneme" in spoken language. We focused on special feature of sign language that JSL is composed of three types of phonological elements which is hand local information, position, and movement. We have proposed an efficiently method of generating subunit using multi-stream HMM which is correspond to phonological elements. In this study, we propose a method to build the decision tree to estimate optimal weight parameter using JSL dictionary. |
