Abstract: The problem of Sign Language Recognition (SLR) consists of four main stages, Video Acquisition, Video Processing, Feature Extraction and Recognition. SLR is a multi-disciplinary research area; hence literature survey of each stage mentioned above is done independently in order to find the suitable best method for each stage. Another reason for doing independent literature survey of each stage is, selection of efficient method at each stage will improve the overall performance of the SLR system. The set of techniques reviewed in this paper can be selected for developing a system for recognition of the native Indian Sign Language (ISL).
Keywords: SLR, ISL, Skin Detection, Feature Extraction.
