A study on stream-weight optimization method for HMM-based sign language recognition using phonemic structure

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We work on automatic Japanese sign Language (JSL) recognition using
Hidden Markov Model (HMM). An important issue for modeling sign is that how to determine the constituent element of sign (i.e., subunit) like ``phoneme'' in spoken language. We focused on special feature of sign language that JSL is composed of three types of phonological elements which is hand local information, position, and movement. In this report, we propose a method for estimate the stream weight of multi-stream HMM which is correspond to phonological elements. An isolated words recognition experiment has confirmed the effectiveness of our proposed method.
