Abstract
Sign Language Recognition opens to a wide research field with the aim of solving problems for the integration of deaf people in society. The goal of this research is to reduce the communication gap between hearing impaired users and other subjects, building an educational system for hearing impaired children. This project uses computer vision and machine learning algorithms to reach this objective. In this paper we analyze the image processing techniques for detecting hand gestures in video and we compare two approaches based on machine learning to achieve gesture recognition.
