Sign language is a collection of different kinds of sign pattern to communicate the thoughts of a signer. It is commonly used by the hearing impaired people who neither speak nor hear. As Indian nation has the historical background of language movement, it reminds that everyone has the right to communicate using their own language. Similarly, sign language has also been promoted with oral language as an intermediate of interaction and exchanging of ideas. Vision-based gesture recognition is based on the appearance of the user hand and uses template images or features for its recognition purpose.
