| Abstract(in English) | Many deaf people use signed language for communication in daily life. Recent progress in multimedia services has contributed greatly to social welfare activities. Videophones in ISDN service offer a method for transmitting motion pictures. Using videophones it is possible for deaf people to makedistant signed language conversation with other people. At the present time, however, the videophones have certain issues to be improved for getting more natural and comfortable signed language conversation. One of them is the improvement of image resolution which is essential to the quality of conversation. The optimal tradeoff between temporal and spatial resolution for signed language conversation is important. In this paper, we investigate the relation between picture quality and perceptual characteristics of signed language using the perceptual experiments based on Scheffe's paired comparison method. |
