A Real-Time Hand Sign Language Recognition System for Threatening Situations Using Deep Learning

Abstract

Hand sign language has been done as physical movements in natural languages that humans have used since ancient times, along with letters, words, and spoken language. This paper presents a real-time method to identify threatening signs by criminals during interrogation, which increases their criminal rank and helps to reach conclusions. The proposed method is to install a camera of appropriate quality in front of the offender, record hand gestures in a specific area of the hand, apply some image processing techniques, such as contrast enhancement techniques, to the image to facilitate recognition as input, and then classify the images using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for a specific problem with high specifications for that topic by and using AlexNet. The accuracy of the presented method is more than 94.2% in real-time testing. © 2024 IEEE.
