DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present application can be more thoroughly understood and so that the scope of the present application can be accurately conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0018] Embodiment one: The embodiment of the present application provides a sign language isolated word recognition method, as shown in the accompanying drawings, comprising the following steps: Figure 1 S101, collecting an RGB video of sign language isolated word actions of a sign language user, wherein the RGB video comprises a video collected from the front of the sign language user and a video collected from the side of the sign language user; ​S102, based on the RGB video, downsampling is performed to obtain a front sign language video frame sequence and a side sign language video frame sequence; S103, based on the front sign language video frame sequence, a first spatial feature is extracted, and based on the side sign language video frame sequence, a second spatial feature is extracted; S104, based on the first spatial feature and the second spatial feature, a fusion spatial feature is obtained; S105, the fusion spatial feature is subjected to time sequence modeling to obtain a target classification feature; S106, based on the target classification feature and a sign language recognition model, an isolated word sign language recognition result is obtained.

[0019] In a specific embodiment, by deploying video acquisition devices on the front and side of the sign language user, video acquisition is performed through the dual perspectives of the front and side, which can avoid the problem of being unable to effectively recognize due to occlusion in one perspective. Therefore, S101, an RGB video of the isolated word sign language action of the sign language user is acquired, and the RGB video includes a video acquired from the front of the sign language user and a video acquired from the side of the sign language user.

[0020] Specifically, the acquired RGB video is wherein, corresponding to the first sign language video sample, corresponding to the front sign language video of the first sign language video sample, corresponding to the side sign language video of the first sign language video sample. The vocabulary label corresponding thereto is wherein, , is a set of all isolated word labels.

[0021] Each RGB sign language video can be represented as a 4-dimensional tensor wherein, is the number of frames of the RGB sign language video, is the number of channels, Next, S102 is performed, and based on the RGB video, downsampling is performed to obtain a front sign language video frame sequence and a side sign language video frame sequence.

[0022] Specifically, each frame of the RGB video is converted into a grayscale image; Based on the grayscale image, the starting frame of the isolated word sign language action is determined; The starting frame is taken as the starting point of downsampling to obtain a front sign language video frame sequence and a side sign language video frame sequence that are time sequence aligned in dual perspectives.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, a starting frame is determined first, and then down-sampling is performed based on the starting frame.

[0024] In determining the starting frame, the following method is used: Based on the gray image, Gaussian blur is used to suppress Gaussian noise, and a pixel matrix of the gray image is obtained. Based on the pixel matrix, a motion intensity map corresponding to each frame of image is calculated. Based on the motion intensity map, the motion intensity of each frame of image is determined. Based on the motion intensity of each frame of image, the starting frame of the isolated word sign language action is determined.

[0025] In using Gaussian blur to suppress Gaussian noise, the obtained pixel matrix of the gray image is wherein is the serial number of the frame.

[0026] Then, based on the pixel matrix, a motion intensity map corresponding to each frame of image is calculated, that is, Specifically, the difference between the pixel matrices of the front and rear gray images is obtained, and the motion intensity map is calculated according to the following formula:

[0027] Then, based on the motion intensity map, the motion intensity of each frame of image is determined. Specifically, the arithmetic mean of all pixel points is calculated as the motion intensity of each frame of image Thus, the motion intensity sequence of the entire sign language video is obtained, that is, The calculation formula of the motion intensity is as follows:

[0028] After obtaining the motion intensity of each frame of image, based on the motion intensity of each frame of image, the starting frame of the isolated word sign language action is determined, and the specific determination method is as follows: It is judged whether the motion intensity of the continuous frame image is greater than the respective adaptive intensity threshold value; If yes, the first frame image of the continuous frame image is taken as the starting frame of the isolated word sign language action.

[0029] That is, the continuous frame image is searched from the 1st frame backward, and if the continuous frame starting from one frame If the motion intensity of the frame is greater than the adaptive intensity threshold value of the respective frame , then the frame is the starting frame. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0030] an adaptive intensity threshold value for the corresponding frame.

[0031] The adaptive intensity threshold value is calculated in the following manner:

[0032] wherein, is a median function, is a motion intensity sequence determined based on the motion intensity of each frame image, is the motion intensity of the corresponding frame image, is the adaptive intensity threshold value corresponding to the corresponding frame image.

[0033] After obtaining the starting frame of the isolated word sign language action in the above manner, sampling is performed with the starting frame as the starting point of downsampling, and if the sampling interval is 5 frames, 16 frames are continuously sampled to obtain a front sign language video frame sequence and a side sign language video frame sequence , and 16 is the number of frames.

[0034] During the sampling process, if the number of sampled frames is insufficient, the last frame image is used for padding.

[0035] Due to the characteristics of isolated words, the entire sign language process image frame sampling of the isolated word is effectively obtained by accurately confirming the starting frame, which facilitates the accuracy of subsequent recognition.

[0036] Next, S103 is performed, and a first spatial feature is extracted based on the front sign language video frame sequence, and a second spatial feature is extracted based on the side sign language video frame sequence.

[0037] In a specific implementation, the feature extraction is specifically performed by a feature extractor. For example, a front feature extractor extracts the front sign language feature, i.e., the first spatial feature, and the specific formula is as follows: A side feature extractor extracts the side sign language feature, i.e., the second spatial feature, and the specific formula is as follows: , is the dimension of the feature vector.

[0038] The specific formula is as follows:

[0039] wherein, the feature extractor adopts Swin ViT.

[0040] Then, S104 is performed, and a fused spatial feature is obtained based on the first spatial feature and the second spatial feature.

[0041] Specifically, the first spatial feature and the second spatial feature are fused by using a multi-modal feature fusion method to obtain a fused spatial feature, the multi-modal feature fusion method includes cross-attention mechanism deep neural network fusion, deformable attention mechanism deep neural network fusion, and gate neural network fusion, and the fused spatial feature is obtained according to the following calculation formula: ; wherein, is the cross-attention mechanism deep neural network fusion, is the deformable attention mechanism deep neural network fusion, is the gate neural network fusion, is the first spatial feature, is the second spatial feature, is the fused spatial feature.

[0042] The fusion means is specifically a front-view guided early fusion strategy FvGFF (Front-view Guided Early Fusion) mechanism. The mechanism takes advantage of the characteristics that the front view plays a major role and the side view plays a supplementary role in the dual-view sign language video, and can effectively fuse the dual-view. The cross-attention mechanism deep neural network can preliminarily fuse the first spatial feature and the second spatial feature, the deformable attention mechanism deep neural network ensures the semantic consistency between the dual views, and the gate neural network emphasizes the guiding role of the front view features and the supplementary role of the side view features through the gate mechanism.

[0043] After obtaining the fused spatial feature, S105 is performed to model the fused spatial feature in time sequence to obtain a target classification feature.

[0044] Specifically, the fused spatial feature is input into a deep time sequence neural network, and the target classification feature is output, and the deep time sequence neural network is specifically a Transformer encoder.

[0045] The deep time sequence neural network is used to model the fused spatial feature in the time dimension to better understand the input fused spatial feature and obtain the target classification feature, and the deep time sequence neural network is specifically as follows:

[0046] Finally, S106 is performed to obtain a word isolation sign language recognition result based on the target classification feature and a sign language recognition model.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the sign language recognition model is obtained based on training, specifically by collecting a large number of word isolation sign language videos and training in combination with corresponding word isolation labels. The sign language recognition model finally obtains a word isolation sign language recognition result.

[0048] Since sign language content is obtained by combining multiple isolated sign words, the meaning of the entire sign language sentence can be obtained by combining them according to grammar based on the results of isolated sign word recognition.

[0049] like Figure 2 The diagram shows the overall process of isolated word sign language recognition. First, a frontal sign language video is acquired. And side sign language video Next, downsampling is performed by determining the starting frame, thereby obtaining the frontal sign language video frame sequence. and side sign language video frame sequence Then, a frontal feature extractor is used to extract frontal sign language features, i.e., first-space features. A side feature extractor is used to extract side sign language features, i.e., second space features. Next, the first spatial features Fusion of second spatial features The fusion process includes deep neural network fusion using cross-attention mechanisms, deep neural network fusion using deformable attention mechanisms, and fusion using gated neural networks. After these fusion methods, fusion spatial features are obtained. Then, through temporal modeling, specifically using deep temporal neural networks, target classification features are obtained. Finally, the target classification feature is input into the fully connected layer of the trained sign language recognition model, and the final output is the isolated word sign language recognition result.
