Recognising Auslan signs using Instrumented Gloves

GRASP - Recognising Auslan signs using Instrumented Gloves

What was formally known previously as "the system" now has a name -- GRASP. (It stands for Glove-based Recognition of Auslan using Simple Processing). Thanks to Paul for his clever suggestions. What is GRASP? It's an experiment I built to see if individual signs could be recognised using a PowerGlove; a very simple instrumented glove. An instrumented glove is a glove that contains sensors about the user's hand, such as finger bend, orientation and position.

I appreciate any advice or suggestions you can make to me. If you do, just e-mail me at: waleed@cse.unsw.edu.au.

My work

GRASPing the data: The way we capture the information about the glove's movement for later processing. Warning: Lots of pics.
The abstract of the thesis.
An article in The Australian about GRASP.
A paper I wrote for the WIGLS workshop. For those who have neither the time or inclination to read the 140-page thesis (this one is only 10 pages long). You can also download the PostScript version. This replaces the old article that used to be here for PRICAI conference. It's a little more refined and readable.
My completed thesis: This is a complete copy of the thesis, identical to the one you can download, but in HTML format.
Download the whole thesis: Here you can download the thesis in compressed Postscript (2.9 Meg).
