ABSTRACT

The Sign language is very important for people who have hearing and speaking
deficiency generally called Deaf And Dumb. It is the only mode of communication for such

IV
people to convey their messages and it becomes very important for people to understand their
language.

This paper proposes the YOLOv5 algorithm for an application which would help in
recognising the different signs which is called Sign Language. The images are of the palm
side of right and left hand and are loaded at runtime. The method has been developed with
respect to single user

The comparisons will be performed in arrears and then after comparison the result will be

produced in accordance through matched keypoints from the input image to the image stored

for a specific letter already in the directory or the database the outputs for the following can

be seen in below sections.

This system is developed using Python and OpenCV with the help of a webcam. The
Sign languge detection system that is being developed is a real-time
detection system
