Abstract


Sign language recognition plays a crucial role in
facilitating communication for individuals with hearing
impairments. This paper presents a deep learning-based
approach for recognizing Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia (BISINDO),
the sign language used in Indonesia. The proposed system
employs convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent
neural networks (RNNs) to automatically extract features from
sign language gestures and classify them into corresponding
linguistic units. The dataset used for training and evaluation
consists of annotated BISINDO sign language videos.
Preprocessing techniques such as normalization and
augmentation are applied to enhance the robustness of the
model. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the
proposed approach in accurately recognizing BISINDO sign
language gestures, achieving state-of-the-art performance
compared to existing methods. The developed system shows
promising potential for real-world applications in enhancing
communication accessibility for the hearing-impaired
community in Indonesia.
