A Portuguese Sign Language and Expressiveness Recognition Database
One of the main challenges in the development of any automatic recognition system, especially in the sign language field, is the availability of suitable ground-truth data.
Here, a novel video-based database, called CorSiL, is presented. It comprises two major components:
- (i) a Portuguese Sign Language (LGP) dataset
- (ii) a duo-interaction dataset, between Deaf and/or hearing people.
The database can be used for different purposes like Sign Language recognition tasks or emotion/expressiveness recognition from body language.
Both datasets have been already manually annotated. The entire CorSiL database is already freely available to the research community for benchmark purposes.
