Temporal Sign Language Recognition (TSLR) from hand motion is an active area of gesture recognition research in facilitating efficient communication with deaf people. TSLR systems consist of two stages: a motion sensing step which extracts useful features from signers' motion and a classification process which classifies these features as a performed sign. This work focuses on two of the research problems, namely unknown time varying signal of sign languages in feature extraction stage and computing complexity and time consumption in classification stage due to a very large sign sequences database. In this paper, we propose a combination of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and application of the Single hidden Layer Feedforward Neural networks (SLFNs) trained by Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) to cope the limitations. DTW has several advantages over other approaches in that it can align the length of the time series data to a same prior size, while ELM is a useful technique for classifying these warped features. Our experiment demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed method with the recognition accuracy up to 98.67%. The proposed approach can be generalized to more detailed measurements so as to recognize hand gestures, body motion and facial expression.

최근 단일 은닉층을 갖는 전방향 신경회로망 구조로, 기존의 경사 기반 학습알고리즘들보다 학습 속도가 매우 우수한 ELM(Extreme Learning Machine)이 제안되었다. ELM 알고리즘은 입력 가중치들과 은닉 바이어스들의 초기 값을 무작위로 선택하고 출력 가중치들은 Moore-Penrose(MP) 일반화된 역행렬 방법을 통하여 구해진다. 그러나 입력 가중치들과 은닉층 바이어스들의 초기 값 선택이 어렵다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최적화 알고리즘 중 박테리아 생존(Bacterial Foraging) 알고리즘의 수정된 구조를 이용하여 ELM의 초기 입력 가중치들과 은닉층 바이어스들을 선택하는 개선된 방법을 제안하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 많은 입력 데이터를 가지는 문제들에 대하여 성능이 우수함을 보였다.

In this paper, a design method based on evolutionary programming for feedforward neural networks which have a single hidden layer is presented. By using an evolutionary programming, the network parameters such as the network structure, weight, slope of sigmoid functions and bias of nodes can be acquired simultaneously. To check the effectiveness of the suggested method, two numerical examples are examined. The performance of the identified network is demonstrated.
