An HMM Approach with Inherent Model Selection for Sign Language and Gesture Recognition

Mathew Magimai Doss, Oya Aran, Sandrine Tornay

HMMs have been the one of the first models to be applied for sign recognition and have become the baseline models due to their success in modeling sequential and multivariate data. Despite the extensive use of HMMs for sign recognition, determining the HMM ...
