INTRODUCTION
India is diversified in culture, language and religion. Since there is a great diversity among Indian languages, the literature survey reports the non-existence of standard forms of Indigenous Sign Language (LSL) gestures. ISL alphabets are derived from British Sign Language (BSL) and French Sign Language (FSL). Because of these problems, the standard database for the ISL / gesture alphabet has not been developed so far. Few research works has been carried out on ISL recognition and interpretation through image processing / vision techniques. But these are only initial jobs proven with simple image processing techniques and are not treated with real-time data. The classification technique refers to the Euclidean distance metric. Subsequently we propose a system to translate the input speech to ISL that is shown with the help of a 3D virtual human avatar. The input to the system is the speech of the employee who is in English.

The speech recognition module recognizes speech and performs a text output. This text is then passed to a parser module that tokenizes the string and labels the part of the voice using a sample file. The output of the analyzer is given to an eliminator module that performs a reduction task by removing unwanted elements and also the root form of the verbs are found using the stemmer module. The structural divergence of English and ISL is handled by a phrase reordering module using the ISL dictionary and the rule. This module generates ISL brightness strings that can be reproduced through virtual human 3D. A 3D animation module creates animation from motion-captured data. In this approach a lot of 3D model data is used which makes the system clumsy and bulk. Attempt to machine static translation as well as dynamic ISL gestures with image processing features such as skin tone detection space filter velocimetry and temporal tracking is developed. The representation of the power spectrum of each gesture is given as moving images. Edge detection, cropping and boundary tracking are used as characteristics for the recognition process. These methods work well for the static signs of ISL. They do not deal with the dynamic, global and local movements of ISL gestures. For example, the ISL signs of the letters A-B, M-N, U-V look similar. It is sometimes difficult for a human to correctly recognize the sign. When it comes to computers, the inter-class variability parameter must be considered II. LITERATURE SURVEY Giulio Marin et.al [01] introduces the two various gesture recognition methods for Leap Motion plus Kinect devices has been proposed. Various feature sets are utilized to deal with dissimilar nature of information provided with two devices; Leap Motion gives a high level however more imperfect information description though Kinect gives the complete depth of map.

International e-Journal For Technology And Research-2017 the information provided with Leap Motion is not absolutely dependable, since several fingers may not be identified, the planned set of the descriptions and classification method permits attained a highquality in accuracy. The more absolute description presented with depth map of Kinect permits capturing other properties omitted in Leap Motion yield by combine the two strategy a very highquality accuracy is attained. The experimental results demonstrate that the task of each finger to precise angular region lead to the substantial enlarge of the recital. J. Rekbai et.al [02] proposes an advance to deal with inter-class uncertainty subject in ISL alphabet detection. Through the assist of localglobal fmger group data and shape-texture descriptions, accurate detection of every ISL symbols have been attained for mutually static & dynamic gesture. Conversely, suitable to less steady life of PCBR descriptions, the correctness slips downwards faintly in case of the dynamic signals of ISL. The future potential work concentrate on study of the dynamic nature of the gestures below dissimilar circumstances. Chao Xu et.al [04] explore that how smart watch is utilized for gesture identification with finger-writing. They demonstrated that the smart watch sensors can correctly notice arm, dispense and even finger gesture. It can also display that watch identify the characters when addict writes on the surface by her guide finger. Gesture identification and finger- writing by smart watch is utilized to produce new application for an interacting by near devices and distantly controlling it. Then, they are designing effective touch-screen with methods to identify user's finger-writing in air on the smartwatch sensor. Pavlo Molchanov et.al [05] developed an effectual process for energetic hand gesture identification by 3D convolutional neural network. This classifier utilizes the combined motion amount of normalize the depth and picture gradient ideals; with utilize spatio-temporal information augmentation to evade over fitting. With means of the extensive assessment, they established that arrangement of the low and high declaration subnetworks advances categorization accuracy significantly. Further they established that the proposed information augmentation method acts a significant position in attaining superior presentation.

Shalini Gupta et.al [06] introduces the new multi-sensor systems that recognize dynamic gesture of the drivers in the car. Preliminary experiments show that the dual employ of the color, short-range radar and depth sensors get better accuracy, robustness, with power utilization of gesture detection scheme. In future, they will discover by using micro-Doppler signature calculated by radar as the descriptions for gesture identification. They also increase the revise to larger information set of gesture more subject to advance the simplification of DNN; also expand the methodologies for constant online frame-wise motion identification. Yang Zhang et.al [07] presented a wearable, low-cost and low power Electrical Impedance Tomography scheme for hand gesture identification. It process cross-sectional bio impedance by 8 electrodes on wearer’s skin. By 28 all-pairs capacity, software will improve interior impedance allocation, which can feed to hand gesture classification. They assess two gesture of sets (hand and pinch sets) with two body placement (wrist and arm). User learns marks illustrate that the advance can propose elevated correctness hand gesture identification when the scheme is skilled on wearer. Though, like mainly other bio-sensing system, marks corrupt when scheme is re-worn at presently time, or wear by other user. ChenyangZhang et.al [08] proposes the ovel discriminative 3D descrip-tor (H3DF) method can effectively capture and replica rich surface shape data of depth maps. Apply the orientation normalization, forceful coding with concentric spatial pooling, the H3DF descriptor is robust to conversion, sight angle with scaling changes. Local H3DF can also able to develop into intense H3DF for form more local patterns. To tack lethet enquire of energetic hand gesture and human action identification as of the depth video sequence, the two temporal addition methods are urbanized: dynamic programming-based temporal partition and N-gram-based method. The two methods are applied to construct increased descriptors by robust representative explanation. They have extensively assessed the efficiency of anticipated H3DF descriptor on 4 public datasets counting static hand gesture identification from single depth picture, dynamic hand gesture and human act identification from depth sequence. Then experimental results show that proposed method outperform or achieve

A. Hand Segmentation
B. Feature Extraction
Segmentation procedure is the first progression for the recognizing hand gestures. This is the method of separating the input picture (hand gesture image) into areas divided by limitations. The segmentation method depends on sort of gesture, if it can be dynamic gesture then hand gesture require to be situated and track, it can static gesture (posture) input image is segmented only. The hand must located initially, usually the bounding box utilized to identify the depending on skin color and next, the hand include to be track, for track the hand there is two main methods; either video seperated into frames and every frame contain to be process alone, in that case the hand frame can treated as the posture and segmented, or by several tracking data like shape, skin color by several filter. Fig.1 represents the general system for hand gesture recognition.
