Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of computer vision recognition devices, specifically relating to a neck-mounted visual sign language recognition device and its implementation method that features high semantic accuracy and fast translation speed. Background Technology
[0002] Real-time sign language translation systems fall at the intersection of computer vision, natural language processing, and human-computer interaction. Their goal is to translate the gestures of hearing-impaired individuals into readable and audible natural language in real time. Currently, approximately 70 million people worldwide with severe hearing impairments rely on sign language for daily communication, while the hearing population generally lacks sign language knowledge, resulting in a gap in two-way "gesture-language" communication. Although non-contact solutions based on monocular cameras have become mainstream, in real-world scenarios, the three core pain points of "poor real-time performance, semantic drift, and low portability" still cannot simultaneously meet application requirements, forming the overall bottleneck restricting the practical application of this technology.
[0003] The aforementioned bottleneck stems from three contradictions: First, the size of sign language datasets is insufficient; the largest existing public dataset is only about 200 hours long, making it difficult to support high-capacity model training. Second, sign language movements have high-frequency, subtle changes and long temporal dependencies, and traditional CNN and RNN structures either have limited receptive fields or excessive inference latency in spatiotemporal modeling. Third, sign language word order differs significantly from written Chinese; sentences generated directly by end-to-end models often have word order inversions and missing components, causing semantic drift. The limited computing power of portable devices further amplifies the "accuracy-latency" contradiction.
[0004] To address these challenges, the academic community has proposed two improvement approaches: one focuses on the "data-model" side, enhancing spatiotemporal representation capabilities through 3DCNNs, Transformers, or graph convolutions, and attempting to achieve lightweighting through knowledge distillation and pruning compression; the other focuses on the "word order" side, employing an encoder-decoder architecture, first using a visual model to output sign language gloss, and then using a language model to rearrange it into natural word order. However, the former still relies on large-scale labeled data and its robustness drops sharply in occluded and dynamically blurred scenarios; the latter's staged training leads to error accumulation, and the high cost of gloss annotation makes it difficult to generalize to sign languages of multiple dialects.
[0005] Recent research has merged two approaches into an end-to-end framework of "single-frame 3D keypoints + large language model," aiming to replace the original video with keypoint sequences and reduce reliance on large-scale annotation. However, this approach presents new dilemmas: on the one hand, keypoint errors are amplified temporally, especially during rapid finger spelling or hand crossing, where even minor perturbations can lead to word-level mistranslations; on the other hand, the pure neural network rearrangement module introduced to correct word order, in a flexible and analytical language like Chinese, suffers from unstable output due to the lack of explicit syntactic constraints, with the BLEU-1 index decreasing exponentially with sentence length. Many sign languages require a combination of hand gestures and facial expressions to achieve accurate semantics, but existing technologies only focus on hand gestures, resulting in low sign language translation accuracy. Current technologies cannot simultaneously address the three inherent defects of "keypoint drift," "word order instability," and "low accuracy in sign language translation with facial expressions," leaving a gap in high-precision, low-latency, and portable real-time sign language translation systems, urgently requiring new system-level inventions.

[0048] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the neckband-style visual sign language recognition method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0049] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0050] A neck-mounted visual sign language recognition device, reference Figure 1 The device includes a neck strap 1, with two ends of the neck strap 1 connected to a housing 5 via a connecting line 3. The neck strap 1 is equipped with at least one sign language capture camera 2 facing outwards to capture hand movements, and the housing 5 is equipped with at least one facial expression camera 4.
[0051] This device simultaneously captures sign language gestures and facial expressions using a sign language capture camera 2 that captures hand movements and a facial expression capture camera 4. Through the interaction and supplementation of these two cameras, the accuracy of sign language translation can be greatly improved.
[0052] In an embodiment of the neck-hook visual recognition sign language device, reference is made to... Figure 1 Based on the previous technical solution, the facial expression camera 4 is rotated and positioned on the outer edge of the upper part of the box body 5, so that the facial expression camera 4 can be rotated to adapt to different people.
[0053] In an embodiment of the neckband-style visual sign language recognition device, based on the preceding technical solution, earphones are also provided on both sides of the neckband 1 to play the translated semantics to the sign language interpreter, so that errors in the translation can be corrected in a timely manner.
[0054] The translation method implemented using the aforementioned neckband-style visual recognition sign language device is referenced. Figure 2 It includes the following steps:
[0055] S1: Initialization, establish a unique Chinese sign language dataset model of "hand mesh - isolated words", train the word segmentation model through sign language videos, complete the hand mesh modeling process, and generate the "hand mesh - isolated words" dataset model;
[0056] S2: Capture continuous sign language videos using cameras and other devices, reconstruct the hand mesh (3D hand mesh) for each frame, and calculate the 2D key points of the hand using the DoF parameters (degrees of freedom parameters) of the hand skeleton from the intermediate results. Finally, output the hand mesh and 2D key point data.

Alternatively, it can be a functional module of the product, which can collect sign language videos of specific people according to the user's habits and preferences and then perform the acquisition and calculation through its own functional module.
[0062] This real-time sign language translation method uses sign language videos and facial expressions captured by the signer's own camera to reconstruct the hand mesh and calculate 2D key points. The hand mesh is adjusted by comparing each frame of the facial expression with the corresponding frame in the sign language video. Then, the effective hand mesh is segmented using the 2D key points. Next, the corresponding isolated words are obtained from the "hand mesh-isolated word" dataset model, and a large language model is used to output a clear and fluent sentence. Finally, the fluent sentence is displayed as text or played aloud, thus offering advantages such as high semantic accuracy and fast translation speed in sign language translation. To evaluate the semantic performance of this method in sign language translation, the Bert-score is used as the core evaluation metric for semantic consistency. This is achieved by extracting the generated sentence... The token-level cosine similarity between the model and the context embedding representation of the real sentence C is calculated and weighted to obtain the Precision, Recall and F1_Bert scores. The experiment was conducted on the CSL-Daily test set. The model achieved a Bert-score F1 mean of 0.849 under the condition of disordered isolated word input, which verifies the effectiveness of the three-layer fine-tuning strategy in maintaining semantic consistency and grammatical correctness.
