    Abstract :

    Sign language recognition involves hand gesture classification. A method for static hand gesture classification has been proposed for American Sign Language(ASL) fingerspelling and digits. The system uses skin color based segmentation requiring little post processing. The averages of central moments of order 2 to 9 have been extracted as the features that characterize the hand gestures. The neural network classifier has been employed for recognition and it produced decent classification results of 73.68% with a small feature vector size containing 8 features.
