A Data Augmentation Approach for Sign-Language-To-Text Translation In-The-Wild

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the current main approaches to sign language translation which use deep neural networks with videos as input and text as output. We highlight that, under our point of view, their main weakness is the lack of generalization in daily life contexts. Our goal is to build a state-of-the-art system for the automatic interpretation of sign language in unpredictable video framing conditions. Our main contribution is the shift from image features to landmark positions in order to diminish the size of the input data and facilitate the combination of data augmentation techniques for landmarks. We describe the set of hypotheses to build such a system and the list of experiments that will lead us to their verification.
