HAND GESTURE RECOGNITION SYSTEM FOR DISABLED PEOPLE USING ARDUINO

Biomedical Engineering

One of the important problems that our society facing is people with disabilities which are finding hard to cope up with the fast growing technology. About nine billion people in the world are deaf and dumb. Communications between deaf-dumb and a normal person have always been a challenging task. Generally deaf and dumb people use sign language for communication, Sign language is an expressive and natural way for communication between normal and dumb people. Some peoples are easily able to get the information from their motions. The remaining is not able to understand their way of conveying the message. In order to overcome the complexity, the artificial mouth is introduced for the dumb people. So, we need a translator to understand what they speak and communicate with us. Hence makes the communication between normal person and disabled people easier. This work aims to lower the barrier of disabled persons in communication. The main aim of this proposed work is to develop a cost effective system which can give voice to voiceless people with the help of Sign language. In the proposed work, the captured images are processed through MATLAB in PC and converted into speech through speaker and text in LCD by interfacing with Arduino.
