Dataset of phrases in Indian Sign Language
Description
Recent advancements in sign language recognition technology have significantly improved communication for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Despite these advancements, many people who use sign language still face challenges in everyday interactions due to widespread unfamiliarity with sign language. However, new technologies have greatly enhanced our ability to recognize and interpret sign language, making communication more accessible and inclusive. This dataset includes images of common phrases in both Indian Sign Language (ISL) and American Sign Language (ASL). The images were captured using a standard laptop webcam with a resolution of 680x480 pixels and a bit depth of 24 pixels. The dataset covers 44 different phrases, each represented by 40 images. All images are stored in PNG format. Note that this dataset includes static signs only and does not contain any dynamic sign language gestures.
