We propose a new principle for recognizing .ngerspelling sequences from American Sign Language (ASL). Instead of training a system to recognize the static posture for each letter from an isolated frame, we recognize the dynamic gestures corresponding to transitions between letters. This eliminates the need for an explicit temporal segmentation step, which we show is error-prone at speeds used by native signers. We present results from our system recognizing 82 different words signed by a single signer, using more than an hour of training and test video. We demonstrate that recognizing letter-to-letter transitions without temporal segmentation is feasible and results in improved performance. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
