As Indian nation has the historical background of language movement, it reminds that everyone has the right to communicate using their own language. Similarly, sign language has also been promoted with oral language as an intermediate of interaction and exchanging of ideas. Vision-based gesture recognition is based on the appearance of the user hand and uses template images or features for its recognition purpose. This approach is therefore best suited as it is user-friendly and always been a recommended model for gesture analysis. This book has been formulated with a new view-based technology for classification of Indian Sign Language in order to facilitate the deaf community towards new e-Services.
