This could be used by the people with speaking disabilities to communicate with other people. For this purpose, surface Electromyogram(EMG) which is the measure of electrical activity from the forearm muscle and accelerometer which measures the acceleration of the hand motions were used. A wearable data collection device called Shimmer was used for recording these signals from the user and transmitting the collected data to Matlab using Bluetooth. A pattern recognition algorithm was implemented in Matlab which processed the signals and displayed output decisions based on the gesture that was performed. Several tests were performed on one-human subject to identify multiple single-handed and two-handed gestures to recognize various word as well as basic sentences in the ASL. The experimental results were recorded and discussed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Vijay Raj Amalaraj,Xiaorong Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3659756717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783659756719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LAP Lambert Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Alex Vijay Raj Amalaraj","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217636995327,"sku":"9783659756719","price":43.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_785fdbf4-4893-4752-a750-79e72d9f3ed9.jpg?v=1771998474","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/real-time-hand-gesture-recognition-alex-vijay-raj-amalaraj-9783659756719","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
