With computer-aided tools, communication between the impaired person and someone who does not understand sign language could be accessible. A large number of people across the world are using sign language (e.g.,\n            <jats:bold>British Sign Language (BSL)<\/jats:bold>\n            ,\n            <jats:bold>Asian Sign Language (ASL)<\/jats:bold>\n            ,\n            <jats:bold>Indian Sign Language (ISL)<\/jats:bold>\n            , etc.) with hand gestures for communication. In BSL recognition, the involvement of both hands overlapping each other becomes the main challenge. Moreover, BSL comprises ambiguous signs concerning viewpoint. However, existing traditional techniques seem in-stable, less accurate, and inefficient. In this work, the BSL fingerspelling alphabet recognition problem explores using a Deep learning framework to address the above-mentioned concerns.\n            <jats:bold>Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)<\/jats:bold>\n            is employed to detect and recognize for classification of 26 alphabets after being trained on the BSL corpus dataset. The proposed work outperforms the existing works with better precision (6%), recall (4%), and F-measure (5\u0303%). It reported better results on the BSL corpus dataset and webcam videos. The model achieved better accuracy (98.0%) for a large lexicon of words than previous models (Goh &amp; Holden\u00a0[\n            <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">6<\/jats:xref>\n            ]: 69.5%, Rambhau\u00a0[\n            <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">9<\/jats:xref>\n            ]: 79.2%, and Liwicki et\u00a0al.\u00a0[\n            <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">8<\/jats:xref>\n            ]: 92.5%). The 3D CNN-based proposal performs robust hand detection, much more accurate sign recognition, more scalability, and less ambiguity in BSL finger-spelling recognition.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3513004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,17]],"date-time":"2022-06-17T09:00:26Z","timestamp":1655456426000},"page":"1-14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["DEAF-BSL: Deep lEArning Framework for British Sign Language recognition"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7068-6541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krishan","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science &amp; Engineering, NIT Uttarakhand, Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-24670-1_30"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5244\/C.22.110"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/THMS.2016.2616278"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/CVPR.2004.336"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","article-title":"Automatic recognition of Auslan finger-spelling using hidden Markov models","author":"Goh Paul","year":"2005","unstructured":"Paul Goh. 2005.
