Abstract

Sign language is an important means of social communication for hearing-impaired people, and most developed countries have established their own hand language banks. Under the guidance of the National Language Commission, China has created a national sign language corpus, which is mainly composed of video. For the database, one of the most important work is to establish the index of retrieval. For sign language videos, the most important index is the hand shape displayed in the video key frame. In this paper, a simple and efficient key frame extraction algorithm is proposed based on the video library with good consistency, namely the sign language video library, to create a fast and efficient index. At the same time, it can be used as a reference for similar video libraries.
