Abstract

This chapter explores the development of a CNN-Attention-LSTM model for Indian Sign Language (ISL) recognition, focusing on the extraction of spatial and temporal features from video data. The model combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for spatial feature extraction and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with an attention mechanism for temporal sequence analysis. Key topics include data preprocessing, model architecture, training and optimization, and performance evaluation. The results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves high accuracy and outperforms standalone CNN and LSTM architectures. The chapter also discusses the potential applications of the model in real-world scenarios, such as educational settings and workplace communication aids for the hearing-impaired community. Additionally, it highlights future research directions, including the integration of facial expression recognition and the optimization of the model for real-time deployment.
