Automatic Classification of Polish Sign Language Words

In the article we present the approach to automatic recognition of hand gestures using eGlove device. We present the research results of the system for detection and classification of static and dynamic words of Polish language. The results indicate the usage of eGlove allows to gain good recognition quality that additionally can be improved using additional data sources such as RGB cameras. Streszczenie. W artykule przedstawiono podejście do automatycznego rozpoznawania gestow migowych w oparciu o dedykowane do tego zadania urządzenie pod nazwą eGlove. Przeprowadzono analize podejśc do klasyfikacji gestow statycznych i dynamicznych. Uzyskane rezultaty wskazują, ze opracowane urządzenie moze zostac wykorzystane do analizy gestow jezyka mowionego, jednakze dla gestow dynamicznych ograniczeniem jest rozmiar slownika.
