Developing a real time system to\ndetect these signs from images is a great challenge. In this paper, we present\na technique to detect BdSL from images that performs in real time. Our method\nuses Convolutional Neural Network based object detection technique to detect\nthe presence of signs in the image region and to recognize its class. For this\npurpose, we adopted Faster Region-based Convolutional Network approach and\ndeveloped a dataset $-$ BdSLImset $-$ to train our system. Previous research\nworks in detecting BdSL generally depend on external devices while most of the\nother vision-based techniques do not perform efficiently in real time. Our\napproach, however, is free from such limitations and the experimental results\ndemonstrate that the proposed method successfully identifies and recognizes\nBangladeshi signs in real time.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1811.12813v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.12813v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"real-time-bangladeshi-sign-language-detection","repo_url":"https://github.com/imruljubair/BdSLImset","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"object-detection","task_name":"Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"object-detection-1","task_name":"object-detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"bdslimset","name":"BdSLImset","full_name":"Bangladeshi Sign Language Image Dataset"}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
