Movement Epenthesis Detection in Compressed and Uncompressed Sign Language Videos

Abstract

Continuous sign language recognition (SLR) system suffers from a problem called coarticulation. Movement epenthesis (me) is a special type of coarticulation which is a transition from one sign to other. So, sign spotting is a process of segmenting out signs and fingerspellings from continuous utterance sentences by removing movement epenthesis components, which is a challenging task.
