【 摘 要 】

Social correspondence is one of the most significant columns that the public dependent on. Notably, language is the best way to communicate and associate with one another both verbally and nonverbally. There is a persistent communication gap among deaf and non-deaf communities because non-deaf people have less understanding of sign languages. Every region/country has its sign language. In Pakistan, the sign language of Urdu is a visual gesture language that is being used for communication among deaf peoples. However, the dataset of Pakistan Sign Language (PSL) is not available publicly. The dataset of PSL has been generated by acquiring images of different hand configurations through a webcam. In this work, 40 images of each hand configuration with multiple orientations have been captured. In addition, we developed, an interactive android mobile application based on machine learning that minimized the communication barrier between the deaf and non-deaf communities by using the PSL dataset. The android application recognizes the Urdu alphabet from input hand configuration.
