Abstract

Gesture-based communication is a correspondence of nonverbal sort that involves the utilization of additional body parts. Demeanours of the face alongside Hand, eye, and lip movement is used for passing on data in correspondence with sign language. Individuals with hearing impairment or discourse are significantly dependent on gesture-based communication as a kind of association in their day-to-day existence. Few of the studies dealt with Arabic sign language, so in this work, we developed applied research with its video-based Arabic sign language recognition system that helps deaf and dumb people in the Arabic community. We developed our sign language model by a combination of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), with two distinct neural network architectures. The first architecture is ConvLSTM and the second one LRCN. We used these two algorithms for extracting spatial and temporal features. The first model achieved a training accuracy of 99.66% and validation accuracy of 95%, and the second model achieved 99.5% training accuracy and 93.33% validation accuracy. We tested the performance of these two models in recognition between 28 classes of Arabic sign language.
