Indian Sign Language Recognition System for Deaf People

Abstract: Sign Language Recognition System is one of the most growing researches today. Many new Techniques are having been developed recently in the field of Sign Language Recognition. This system becomes popular because it is only one of the efficient way through which the deaf and dumb people can convey their message to other people. In this paper we proposed some methods, through which the recognition of the signs becomes easy. We use the different signs to convey the meanings. And the result of those signs will be converted into the text. We proposed a method for that is, Scale Invariance Fourier Transform (SIFT).By using the Webcam we capture the image of the hand gesture, after that by using SIFT algorithm, Feature Extraction will performed. That matches the key points of captured image with key points of previously stored images
