2. Introduction
 Normally Hand Gesture sign language is the tool which
is being used by the deaf and dumb to communicate.
 Hand Gesture Recognition will be useful in a
communication between dumb and deaf person and
normal person.
 This system works under Video Processing technology.

3. Present challenges for dumb and deaf people
 In our society we have people with disabilities.
 About 360 million people in the world are deaf and dumb
 Communications between deaf-mute and a normal person
have always been a challenging task.
 Sign language helps deaf and dumb people to communicate
with other people.
 But not all people understand sign language.

4. Tools used
 Camera (input device)
 Controller or PC with OpenCV interface (Processor)
 Mic and LCD Display (Output Device)

7. OpenCV
 OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a library of
programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision.
 It can read and Write image and video.
 It can process image.
 It can detect Geometrical shapes.
 Gestures Recognize and more…
 It can support languages such as JAVA, PYTHON, C++.

8. Sample Working of OpenCV

9. Arduino and PC
 It interface camera and OpenCV Program in order to
recognize the gestures.
 In this system OpenCV is used to process the input
from the with the algorithm which we program in the
using c, c++, python.
 We write the Program in the way machine learning to
create a ability to recognize the gesture accurately.
 And the output will send to the output devices

10. Output
 Speaker
 We use normal speaker to deliver the output from the
processor as a voice output.
LCD Display
It is the visual output which display the output from the
processor

11. Normal Person to Dumb and Deaf
 The controller convert the speech signal into text. And
it can be done by BitVoicer and arduino .
 Finally it will send the output to the LCD Display.
 In this method the normal person need to give a input as a
voice to the mic. The mic will sense and convert it to
electrical pulse and that will send to the controller. And the
controller will convert it into text format.
 Finally it will display it
in the LCD display

12. Conclusion
 By using OpenCV we can achieve this with high
accuracy and fast as well it low cost ever now.
 Around the world 360 million people are dumb and
deaf around the world.
 We can give a easiest solution and every
needed person can use it.
