Gesture detection for deaf and dumb people

Gesture detection using video and image processing is used for enabling the communication between the deaf, dumb & normal people. All the available systems are not portable and not affordable to poor people. This paper introduces new android application which will detect the Indian sign language via mobile camera and converts into corresponding text or voice output. This application reduces the major communication gap between the impaired and normal people. This application uses certain image processing techniques to compare the input with the already stored signs. This application requires only android phone and does not require any special markers or magic gloves on the hand of the user.
