Abstract This study presents a novel and innovative approach to automatically translating Arabic Sign Language (ATSL) into spoken Arabic. The proposed solution utilizes a deep learning-based classification approach and the transfer learning technique to retrain 12 image recognition models. The image-based translation method maps sign language gestures to corresponding letters or words using distance measures and classification as a machine learning technique. The results show that the proposed model is more accurate and faster than traditional image-based models in classifying Arabic-language signs, with a translation accuracy of 93.7%. This research makes a significant contribution to the More >

Abstract Sign language includes the motion of the arms and hands to communicate with people with hearing disabilities. Several models have been available in the literature for sign language detection and classification for enhanced outcomes. But the latest advancements in computer vision enable us to perform signs/gesture recognition using deep neural networks. This paper introduces an Arabic Sign Language Gesture Classification using Deer Hunting Optimization with Machine Learning (ASLGC-DHOML) model. The presented ASLGC-DHOML technique mainly concentrates on recognising and classifying sign language gestures. The presented ASLGC-DHOML model primarily pre-processes the input gesture images and generates feature More >
