The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of digital image processing, particularly video processing in real time.
[0002] The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art. Around the world we have 466 million deaf and dumb people and 34 million of these are children. WHO says it will increase to 900 million by 2050. Hearing lossmay result from genetic causes and complication at birth. Usually, deaf and dumb people found difficulties to interact with normal person since they are not able to speak or hear and hence, they are unable to share their emotions to the normal person. Many times the expressions of the deaf and dumb people are wrongly interpreted by the normal person. Therefore, these deaf/dumb people will not come out and lack many opportunities such as jobs.
[0003] Many communication platforms are available for deaf and dumb people where they can interact with normal person. These platforms may include wearing of gloves having sensors and further tracking of the movements of hands to identify gestures of hands to interpret the sign language. However, deaf and dumb people cannot afford these platforms due to high cost and less efficiency to convert sign language into text or speech. Conventional approaches may found that a video filehaving sign language is processed to send the output in the form of audio or textso that the normal person may come to know about the expression of the deaf/dumb people using sign language but a delay was observed for converting the video file into audio.
[0004] Efforts have been made in in the related prior art to provide different solutions for sign language recognition. For example, Chinese Patent no. CN103136986B addressed the issues relates to a kind of sign Language Recognition Method, comprise the following steps: gather the image comprising marked region; The attitude in identification marking region; Generate the steering order that described attitude is corresponding; Convert described steering order to natural language information. In addition, a kind of sign Language Recognition is additionally provided. Above-mentioned sign Language Recognition Method and system can improve the accuracy rate of identification. However, the prior art fails to provide a system that is capable of providing bilateral communication between disabled people.
[0005] In some embodiments, the numbers expressing quantities or dimensions of items, and so forth, used to describe and claim certain embodiments of the invention are to be understood as being modified in some instances by the term "about." Accordingly, in some embodiments, the numerical parameters set forth in the written description and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by a particular embodiment. In some embodiments, the numerical parameters should be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of some embodiments of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as practicable. The numerical values presented in some embodiments of the invention may contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.
[0006] As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of "a," "an," and "the" includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of "in" includes "in" and "on" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

a first repository (110) configured to store a dataset having a list of gestures and corresponding gesture information;
a feature matching unit (112) configured to cooperate with said image processing unit (104) to receive said extracted features of gesture of the left and right hand and further configured to match extracted features of gesture of the left and right hand with the stored dataset having gesture information in said first repository (110);
a feature recognition unit (114) configured to receive matched gesture information from said feature matching unit (112) to recognize the gesture information on the basis of temporal and spatial hand gesture variation; and
an audio unit (116) configured to receive recognized gesture information from said feature recognition unit (114) and further configured to output the gesture information into a voice audio via an audio device.
generating primary spectrum key (106) for a primary user wherein the generated key indicates the data of nodes and spectrum holes;
generating a secondary spectrum key (108) for a secondary user wherein the generated key indicates the data of nodes and spectrum holes;
computing the secondary nodes for the generated secondary spectrum keys;
verifying (110) the node through spectrum key management; reassigning of the primary spectrum key for node verification through new key management (112).
2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said image processing unit
(104) includes:
A detection unit (106) configured to identify a region of interest within the received captured live image data stream from said image capturing device (102), wherein region of interest within the received captured live image data stream includes video of coordinated left and right hand of the deaf/dumb person; and
a hand feature extraction unit (108) configured to receive the identified video of coordinated left and right hand and further configured to extract temporal and spatial feature of gesture of the left and right hand.
3. The system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said image capturing device (102) is selected from the group consisting of a still camera, ip camera, a 3d camera, an infrared camera, an image capturing sensor, a digital camera, and a ccd camera.
4. The system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said gesture information in said first repository (110) includes a plurality of classes related to hand gesture used for sign language, hand gesture for alphabets, hand gesture for numbers, hand gesture for words, hand gesture for expressions and the like.
5. The system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said feature recognition unit (114) is configured to verify and recognize the correct gesture information on the basis of tracking of left and right hand, movements occlusion, and position of hands on the basis of the temporal and spatial hand gesture variation by employing segmentation techniques.
6. The system (100) for translating speech into sign language, said system (100) comprising:
an input (118) configured to accept input in the form of voice commands from a user;
a speech to text convertor (120) cooperating with said input unit
o receive said voice commands and further configured to convert said voice commands into text commands, in real time;
a second repository (122) configured to store a second dataset having a list of gestures information associated with a text; a gesture matching unit (124) configured to extract a suitable gesture based on the received text commands by crawling through the stored list of gestures information via a crawler when said received text commands matches with the stored text in said second repository (122); and a display unit (126) configured to display the corresponding gesture information received from said gesture matching unit (124). 7. The system (100) as claimed in claim 6, wherein the system (100) provides a bilateral communication to the deaf/dumb person speaking sign language and the user, in continuous live mode.
