    Abstract

    The non-intrusion and device-free sign language recognition (SLR) is of great significance to improve the quality of life, broaden living space and enhance social service for the deaf and mute. In this paper, we propose a SLR system framework, called WiCLR, for identifying isolated words in Chinese sign language exploring the channel state information (CSI). WiCLR is made up entirely of commercial wireless devices, which does not incur significant deployment and maintenance overhead. In the framework we devise a signal denoising method to remove the environment noise and the internal state transitions in commercial devices. Moreover, we propose the multi-stream anomaly detection algorithm in action segmentation and fusion. Finally, the extreme learning machine (ELM) is utilized to meet the accuracy and real-time requirements. The experiment results show that the recognition accuracy of the approach reaches 94.3% and 91.7% respectively in an empty conference room and a laboratory.
