Abstract

To address communication barriers between deaf-mute individuals and non-sign language users, a gesture-based sign language translation system was developed for the real-time translation of sign language into text or speech. The system utilizes the YOLOv9 model and transfer learning techniques, integrating deep learning and natural language processing (NLP) to achieve gesture recognition and translation. The system design encompasses data preprocessing, feature extraction, model training and optimization, and real-time translation processing modules, adopting an end-to-end architecture to optimize user experience. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system exhibits superior performance in sign language recognition accuracy, response speed, and translation quality.
