A Survey on Sign Language Recognition

Sign Language (SL) recognition is getting more and more attention of the researchers due to its widespread applicability in many fields. This paper is based on the survey of the current research trends in the field of SL recognition to highlight the current status of different research aspects of the area. Paper also critically analyzed the current research to identify the problem areas and challenges faced by the researchers. This identification is aimed at providing guideline for the future advances in the field.
