Problems solved by technology

For audiovisual media (film and television in particular), there is a high demand from the deaf population for the translation of film and television sound into sign language, however, this may only be insufficient due to the lack of a sufficient number of sign language interpreters. be satisfied

Embodiment Construction

[0013] In FIG. 1 , reference numeral 10 designates a database structured as an audiovisual language dictionary in which, for sentences and / or words of spoken language, corresponding images of sign language are stored in the form of video sequences (clips). Via a data bus 11, the database 10 communicates with a computer 20, which addresses the database 10 with spoken sentences and / or worded text data and reads out the corresponding video sequences stored therein to its output line 21 on. Furthermore and preferably, in the database 10, it is possible to store metadata for the initial hand state of the sign language (which defines the transition positions of the individual gestures, and in the form of a sequence of transitions) inserted between successive video sequences of the individual gestures . In the following, the resulting sequence of video and transitions is simply referred to as the "video sequence".

[0014] In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the video sequence...

Abstract

For automatising the translation of spoken language into sign language and manage without human interpreter services, a system is proposed, which comprises the following features: A database (1), in which text data of words and syntax of the spoken language as well as sequences of video data with the corresponding meanings in the sign language are stored, and a computer (20), which communicates with a database (10) in order to translate fed text data of a spoken language into corresponding video sequences of the sign language, wherein, further, video sequences of initial hand states for definition of transition positions between individual grammatical structures of the sign language are stored in the database (10) as metadata, which are inserted by the computer (20) between the video sequences of the grammatical structures of the sign language during the translation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for translating spoken language into sign language for deaf persons. Background technique [0002] Sign language is the name given to gestures that can be perceived visually, mainly using hands in combination with facial expressions, mouth expressions, and postures. Sign language has its own grammatical structure because sign language cannot be translated verbatim into spoken language. In particular, sign language can transmit multiple pieces of information at the same time, while spoken language is composed of consecutive pieces of information, namely sounds and sentences. [0003] The translation from spoken language to sign language is performed by sign language interpreters, comparable to foreign language interpreters, who are trained in a full-time study program. For audiovisual media (film and television in particular), there is a high demand from the deaf population for the translation of film and tele...
