Description
Summary:In this diploma thesis we present an algorithm for evaluating similarity of pairs of signs in Czech sign language. The proposed algorithm is based on the sign visual appearance and compares static positions of signing person. Geometric form of sign is obtained by the transformation from its written notation to animated 3D model already implemented in the ZNAK dictionary. The proposed algorithm has been implemented into ZNAK and can be used in two ways | for retrieval of visually similar signs for currently selected sign and for searching signs in dictionary according to partial information obtained from the user.
