Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 32-35). The impairment of speech impediment affects 6.9% of Bangladesh’s population. This is a condition in which people cannot communicate vocally with others or hear what they are saying, causing them to rely on nonverbal means of commu nication. For such persons, sign language is a common way of communication in which they communicate with others by making various hand gestures and mo tions. The biggest problem is that not everyone understands sign language. Many people cannot converse using sign language, making communication between them problematic. Even though translators and interpreters are available to assist with communication, a more straightforward method is required. We propose a method which uses deep learning combined with some computer vision techniques to detect and classify Bangla sign languages to close this gap. Our custom-made CNN model can recognize and classify Bangla sign language characters from the Ishara-Lipi dataset with a testing accuracy of 99.21%. To recognize the precise indications of a hand gesture and understand what they mean, we trained our model with sufficient samples by augmenting and preprocessing the Ishara-Lipi dataset using various data augmentation techniques.
