Abstract

Communication is an important part of our day to day life. But it is very challenging for normal people to communicate with deaf, dumb &blind people & vice versa. This is because of a deaf, dumb need sign language for communication and normal people cannot understand sign language easily. Therefore there is a demand of converting and translating sign languages. This paper removes the barrier of communication between them. In this paper, hand gestures are captured, processed and then translated into speech & text. In the proposed method, two languages for a character as well as words are chosen namely English & Hindi. Feature extraction is done using moment technique and gray level co-occurrence matrix. Two classification techniques (PNN & KNN) are used & performance parameters are compared between both classifiers.
