| Abstract(in English) | In sign language-Japanese translation system, appropriate segmentation of a sentence improves precision of recognition. From an analysis of arm movements by gesture, a segmentation method based on the smoothness of the movement has been proposed. In this study, considering that the human focuses on the hand rather than the arm posture when he perceives a gesture, we define the forearm jerk that reflects a forearm's positional change and twist as an index of the smoothness of the movement, and propose an segmentation method of sign word based on this index. Considering that the human seems to segment a sentence to recognize words easily, word domains were decided to minimize the distance from the dictionary data, and a word of the smallest distance was selected as a candidate of translation term. Thsese results suggest the effectiveness of the sign language word recognition system based on the smoothness of the human arm movements. |
