The Hand Motion Understanding (HMU) system recognises static and dynamic hand signs in Australian Sign Language (Auslan) by dealing with "fine grain" hand motion, such as configuration changes of fingers. The system consists of the 3D hand tracker and the adaptive fuzzy expert classifier. The hand tracker extracts 3D hand configuration data with 21...

Recently, a promising research direction has emerged in sign language recognition (SLR) aimed at breaking up signs into manageable subunits. This paper presents a novel SL learning technique based on boosted subunits. Three main contributions distinguish the proposed work from traditional approaches: (1) A novel boosting framework is developed to r...

The use of Fuzzy Logic allows for a natural expression of concepts employed by experts and users. Although the use of Fuzzy Logic partially reduces the software systems maintenance problems associated to vagueness modelling, it introduces other problems in tuning the numbers used by the system to model such vagueness. On the other hand, Ripple Down Rules (RDR) provide for easy maintenance when dealing with Knowledge-based systems but it does not allow to model terminological vagueness. The work presented in this paper shows the fundamentals of a theoretical approach that combines both methodologies RDR and Fuzzy Logic into a semantics-driven framework. We believe that the advantages of using/implementing this framework are clear, although a number research issues remain open.
