Project Scope & Details

Developing a model to do real time conversion of Indian Sign Language(ISL) to sentence.

ARCHITECTURAL & SCIENTIFIC HIGHLIGHTS
01.

Multi-Modal Hand & Upper-Body Pose Estimation

Simultaneously tracks 21 hand joints, facial expression blendshapes, and shoulder posture at 60 FPS.

02.

Continuous Sign Language Transformer

Attention-based sequence-to-sequence model translating continuous visual sign sequences into syntactically correct text.

03.

Spatial Grammar & Non-Manual Marker Modeling

Decodes head tilts, eyebrow furrowing, and spatial directional verbs unique to Indian Sign Language (ISL) grammar.

04.

Real-Time Bi-Directional Speech Synthesis

Converts recognized signs into synthesized spoken audio while providing live captions for inclusive communication.
